So is the syntax \parencites followed by an arbitrary number of pairs
[page#]{ref}? 

latex export knows to do the right thing for a command with optional and
mandatory arguments: \command[opt]{mand} is properly protected, but the
above case stretches it to beyond its breaking point.

After a quick look, all I could come up with as a possibility was yet
another special case in org-export-latex-preprocess - and one more scan
of the whole file to add to the many (roughly 20!) that this function
does.
