Ah, thanks! So it was configuration then...

I initially figured it was language-dependant, which was why I tried it in
Ruby, since "$" is a valid character in that language... What I didn't
anticipate was that the boxes came from intelligent-syntax checking--I
figured that it was just some sort of fancy character I was unfamiliar with
that needed to be escaped.

So, the way I fixed the issue in my Org file was to add the following to
override the syntax error checking:

    #+LATEX_HEADER: \expandafter\def\csname PY@tok@err\endcsname{}

It was recommended on that Stack Exchange answer not to do this, but we
aren't writing code directly in LaTeX, we're using Org mode..! That means
we don't really need error highlighting in our exporting, since that sort
of thing is already covered by existing language support.
