Sorry I think you misunderstood me.  What I meant was following your
suggestion fixes the issue for me.  However I'm raising the question if
having to explicitly set the "':t" option to get ``..'' as output is a
reasonable expectation for LaTeX export since the default is actually
incorrect LaTeX.

I hope I was clear this time around.
