The standard latex exporter does indeed mishandle this, but unless it is
a very easy fix, it's unlikely to be fixed: the exporter is on its way
out.
If you can, please use Nicolas Goaziou's new exporter: it handles the
situation correctly.
Assuming you are running a recent version of org, you can install it
alongside the old one. Just add the following to your init file (with
the path modified appropriately):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/contrib/lisp"))
(require 'org-export)
(require 'org-e-ascii) ; if you want
(require 'org-e-html) ; if you want
(require 'org-e-latex)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
In my case, I bind the new exporter dispatch to a key sequence, but that
is strictly optional. In addition, when the switchover is complete and
the old exporter is thrown overboard, C-c C-e will be the official
binding. In the meantime, something like this
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c E") 'org-export-dispatch)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
will allow you to invoke it with C-c E (which is officially undefined
currently). But you can always skip the define-key stuff and invoke it
the long way:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
M-x org-export-dispatch RET
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
