One possible workaround would be to define a macro with a conditional:
if exporting to LaTeX, returns the string 'toc:nil'; otherwise, returns
'toc:t'. And the LaTeX command can be added via a export snippet.
Something like this:

#+MACRO: mytoc (eval (if (eq org-export-current-backend 'latex) "#+OPTIONS: toc:nil" "#+OPTIONS: toc:t"))

{{{mytoc}}}

@@latex:\tableofcontents*@@
