You can cheat using some latex...:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** A second slide
#+latex: \newcommand{\nothing}{}
*** \nothing 							    :B_block:
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_env: block
    :END:
This block has no heading, just some text.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and I'm sure some latex expert could improve on this dramatically...

Same trick should apply.

But I should say again that org /= latex and if you really want the full
power of latex, you should use that directly.  IMO, of course.
