Aloha Carsten,

Yes, I do.  Your patch works here for the use cases I had in mind.   
I'm pleased that you were able to make the patch work for other use  
cases as well.  Also, I like having org-export-latex-use-verb default  
to t instead of nil.  It is nice to have the \verb command immediately  
at hand.

Thanks for looking into this.

All the best,
Tom
