I don't know what \cprotect does but there was a discussion of this a
long time ago:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/14256/focus=14257

and back then, Carsten changed it so that verbatim in headlines used
\texttt - but that was the old latex exporter: I take it things are
different now?
