Ah. Neat. I was unaware of this. That should do it. I'd still kind of
prefer not to have to tweak around with stuff. Given that special
combinations of "\" + "char" are LaTeX specific, it would seem that a
natural combination would be to activate such combinations when LaTeX:t is
used in #+options.

Your solution will work for me for now.
