[tex-hyphen] should bahasa be a synonym for Indonesian?

  Taking Waluyo off the discussion, as it does not seem necessary to
involve him in this issue that needs to be addressed by the developers.

  Yes, I would consider this a bug too.  I would recommend to use the
name of the language definition file in the LaTeX source output by LyX;
in this case, "bahasai".

  No, I don't think there is such a risk -- see Jonathan's answer.
