However, its absence in LaTeX export seems unusual. Org doesn't cover all LaTeX facilities.

But implementing it for LaTeX only is, IMO, not worth the trouble: #+toc: figures vs. #+latex: \listoffigures > and have other back-ends insert a comment? Comments do not always make sense (e.g. ascii). Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
