I use the xtables package in R to generate nice-looking tables for LaTeX output,
as in the snippet below. The new exporter escapes the % symbol in the R output,
so that the comments generated by xtable are no longer comments.
* Snippet
#+HEADER: :results output latex
#+HEADER: :exports results
#+BEGIN_SRC R
library(xtable)
xtable(matrix(c(1,2,3,4),nrow=2,ncol=2))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+BEGIN_LaTeX
% latex table generated in R 2.15.1 by xtable 1.7-0 package
% Thu Oct 25 13:11:30 2012
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rrr}
\hline
& 1 & 2 \\
\hline
1 & 1.00 & 3.00 \\
2 & 2.00 & 4.00 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
#+END_LaTeX

Aloha Mike,
It looks like your source block and results are indented. IIRC, that's
not a good thing.
This might work better:
#+name: gauland-eg
#+HEADER: :results output raw
#+HEADER: :exports results
#+BEGIN_SRC R
library(xtable)
library(ascii)
print(ascii(xtable(matrix(c(1,2,3,4),nrow=2,ncol=2))),type="org")
#+END_SRC
#+results: gauland-eg
| | 1 | 2 |
|---+------+------|
| 1 | 1.00 | 3.00 |
| 2 | 2.00 | 4.00 |
Then you can let the new exporter do the work of making the LaTeX export
look nice. This has the (possible) advantage that it also exports to the
other back ends, not just LaTeX.
hth,
Tom

I agree with Tom's comments in general, although there might exist
special situations where the output would have to be tweaked and made
less generic.
But even in the original form below, I cannot reproduce Michael's problem: the
% signs are not escaped. I get
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\section{Snippet}
\label{sec-1}

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
