I tried a little debugging on this, but I didn't get very far before I
ran out of time. The re-search-forward for "#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS" in
org-export-latex-set-initial-vars fails and it looks to me like a rather
subtle problem: the temp file buffer looks empty. Whether that's the
fault of the with-temp-file-buffer macro or something else, I'm not
sure.
