Christiaan, Sorry I did not respond earlier. I have been away on vacation. With all the changes in LyX 2.x to make Sweave stuff easier, I suspect this problem should go away. I have not upgraded my system, but a couple folks that have done so reported no problems with a setup like yours. Probably best to send a request to the LyX users' list to get this resolved, as LyX development is very interested in this aspect nowadays.
