However, the exporter seems to ignore any caption I might assign if the table itself is inside a drawer. For example, if you export the sample org file below to LaTeX, the first table gets exported with caption, the second without. Would it be possible for the exporter to keep the caption in the second case as well?

The second example has a drawer with caption, not a table with caption.
Captions in drawers are ignored (or rather it is undefined behaviour).
I recommend not wrapping tables into drawers in your use case - it is
not necessary if you just have a table in the output. If you have
multiple things, with table coming first, it would be unclear which part
you want to assign the caption to; so you would need to arrange yourself
to create table result with caption inside the drawer.
