This will not work as it is by definition inserted between \begin{frame}...\end{frame}
like thus:

\begin{frame}
.........
{
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
.........
 }
\end{frame}

I think it it possible to write a function that prepends
"{\myfunction..etc "  and appends "}" to the frame environment.
For the time being a property like "BEAMER_BG: myfile.jpg" could be
harvested and transformed into:

{
\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{
	\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{./myfile.jpg}

\begin{frame}
.........
\end{frame}
 }

The latex code could be a bit more elaborate and the image placement
attributes need some automagic, but as a proof of concept, this will do.

I do think I need a little help with this though, as I have no clue
about org's inner workings. 
But let's take it one step at a time, like how does one harvest the
"BEAMER_BG: myfile.jpg" property ?
