My example file uses BEAMER_ACT, so yes, I did try that. Here's what happens
if I try it with \only<1>.
#+LANGUAGE: en
#+OPTIONS: H:2 num:t toc:t \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t <:t ':t
#+OPTIONS: TeX:t LaTeX:t skip:nil d:nil todo:t pri:nil tags:not-in-toc
#+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export
#+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport
#+startup: beamer
#+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_THEME: default
#+COLUMNS: %45ITEM %10BEAMER_env(Env) %10BEAMER_act(Act) %4BEAMER_col(Col)
%8BEAMER_opt(Opt)
#+PROPERTY: BEAMER_col_ALL 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 0.0 :ETC
* Section
** Frame (beamer_act, not quite right)
*** The problem on this frame
I want Block 1 and Block 2 to occupy the same space on successive slides.
*** Block 1 :B_block:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: block
:BEAMER_ACT: \only<1>
:END:
*** Block 2 :B_block:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: block
:BEAMER_ACT: \only<2>
:END:
-->
\begin{block}<\only<1>>{Block 1}
\end{block}
Where the correct syntax would be:
\only<1>{
\begin{block}{Block 1}
\end{block}
}
So in short, no, that doesn't help.
I'm getting the uncomfortable feeling that this is a use case that org just
doesn't support as yet.
Actually, reading further in the beamer user guide, I noticed last night
that what I really want is \overlayarea, e.g.:
\begin{overlayarea}{\textwidth}{3cm}
\only<1>{Some text for the first slide.\\Possibly several lines long.}
\only<2>{Replacement on the second slide.}
\end{overlayarea}
Unfortunately \overlayarea is not supported as a BEAMER_env:
*** dummy :B_overlayarea:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: overlayarea
:BEAMER_envargs: {\textwidth}{3cm}
:END:
There's no \begin{overlayarea} or \end{overlayarea} anywhere in the exported
code.
Oh, forgot: org-version says Org-mode version 8.2 (release_8.2-1-g025bb7 @
/home/dlm/share/org-mode.git/lisp/).
