As confirmed by Nick, \centering just changes the layout for ever... up to the
end of the document.
Why does it work? I guess because there are grouping commands inserted by Org
at other places, that stop the propagation of the centering that far... But
it's dangerous to count on them, IMHO.

I think that's a safe replacement (_with_ the grouping), and with something I
forgot about (well seen Nick!): the \par.
See, for example,
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/fr.comp.text.tex/0s4WfsIfmy8
for the answer of Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard, one reference wrt LaTeX questions:
"replace the environment by {\centering ... \par}"
Best regards,
Seb
