I know the snippet shown there indicates that an empty line is
required.  However, this is likely required to ensure a new paragraph is
started.  You could try inserting \par instead of a new line?  As in:

#+latex_header: \par

Untested.

By the way, you may also wish to check out the progressbar beamer theme:

I have been using this for a long time now.

HTH,
eric
