Set `org-latex-image-default-width' to "".

That's not correct. It is always true because (:width "") means width
becomes "\"\"", not "". IOW, `org-export-read-attribute' is unable to
parse a real empty string.

This wouldn't help to solve the general problem. Though, you can change
it in your config to something else, as suggested above.

I think the correct solution would be to fix `org-export-read-attribute'
so it can read empty strings.
If "" is really read as "", """" will still be read as "\"\"\"\"", and
it will not be possible to obtain "\"\"".
Another possibility is to read the empty string as the empty string
instead of nil, that is
#+attr_latex: :prop1 :prop2 1
becomes (:prop1 "" :prop2 "1") instead of (:prop1 nil :prop2 "1"). It
may be confusing, though.
