Hey! The above led me to `org-export-filter-subscript-functions', and
its `superscript' sibling. I should have guessed that was there.
Attaching a filter function to the subscript version should be enough to
solve the OP's problem: with some experimentation it ought to be
possible to conditionally handle the "_", though I haven't tried this
yet and don't know how big a chunk of text is passed to the filter.
Anyway, in this case I'll bet a filter is the way to go.

Meanwhile, I'll look into deleting my local patch that hard-codes Latex
superscripts to "\\textsuperscript{%s}" instead of "$_\\mathrm{%s}$"...
