It is because org-latex.el doesn't check if \begin{enumerate} is
already protected or not. Thus, it treats it as if it was some plain
LaTeX code inside the file.

In other words,

#+LaTeX: \begin{enumerate}
*bold*
#+LaTeX: \end{enumerate}

is the same as

\begin{enumerate}
*bold*
\end{enumerate}

In this case, org-latex protects everything between \begin and \end,
making it impossible to apply modifications to the text in-between.

With the following patch, org-latex will not protect an environment
coming from a #+LaTeX: instruction.

Btw, a bug I described some day ago (about org-latex badly exporting
lists when an equation spans across two lines) is also about
over protection. I have a workaround, but I still don't understand
why protection is needed for lists.

HTH,
