I exported your file using LaTeX export without trouble. The result does
look odd, but that is because the string you gave is missing the braces
needed to make it export properly. The output messages warn that the
string contains a double subscript, so the problem is with the string
and not Org's LaTeX export.

Your string: a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks

Properly formed string: a_{variable_{deleteThisAndItWorks}}
