I agree with Tom's comments in general, although there might exist
special situations where the output would have to be tweaked and made
less generic.

But even in the original form below, I cannot reproduce Michael's problem: the
% signs are not escaped. I get

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\section{Snippet}
\label{sec-1}
% latex table generated in R 2.12.1 by xtable 1.5-6 package
% Wed Oct 24 23:38:22 2012
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
  \hline
 & 1 & 2 \\ 
  \hline
1 & 1.00 & 3.00 \\ 
  2 & 2.00 & 4.00 \\ 
   \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
% Generated by Org mode 7.9.2 in Emacs 24.2.50.1.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-459-g6f7e92 @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/)
