You needn't. org-exp-blocks functionalities are supported by the new
exporter out of the box.

Special blocks are de facto, recursive, much like drawers. Their
contents have to be parsed.

During export, the buffer being parsed isn't the original buffer,
because of babel block, include keywords and macros expansion. You may
want to have a look at `org-export-as' source code.

Hence, :contents-begin and :contents-end properties do not refer to real
buffer positions in the buffer from which `org-e-latex-special-block' is
called.

If you must, you can try:

  (org-element-interpret-data (org-element-contents special-block))

from `org-e-latex-special-block'.
