The problem appears to be the docstring of org-export-latex-emphasis- 
alist, which refers to the behavior before Carsten's fix.  Now it  
seems that the second element, \\verb, yields \texttt{} instead of  
\verb.

org-export-latex-emphasis-alist is a variable defined in `org-latex.el'.
Its value is
(("*" "\\textbf{%s}" nil)
  ("/" "\\emph{%s}" nil)
  ("_" "\\underline{%s}" nil)
  ("+" "\\st{%s}" nil)
  ("=" "\\verb" t)
  ("~" "\\verb" t))


Documentation:
Alist of LaTeX expressions to convert emphasis fontifiers.
Each element of the list is a list of three elements.
The first element is the character used as a marker for fontification.
The second element is a formatting string to wrap fontified text with.
If it is "\verb", Org will automatically select a delimiter
character that is not in the string.
The third element decides whether to protect converted text from other
conversions.
