I don't think so. This is the way ox-pandoc works (format is the target
format):

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (org-export-to-file 'pandoc (org-export-output-file-name
                               (concat (make-temp-name ".tmp") ".org") s)
    a s v b e (lambda (f) (org-pandoc-run-to-buffer-or-file f format s buf-or-open)))
#+end_src

In short, it exports the org file to another temporary org file (using
the pandoc exporter that inherits from the org exporter), then it calls
the pandoc binary to convert from org to the target format. The first
step (org to temporary org) is used to extract some information from the
org file that is used in further steps (like creating a custom CSS or
adding arguments to the call to the pandoc binary).

The problem seems to be that the org to org export part is not the
identity. Calling `org-org-template' in `org-pandoc-template' solves the
issue.

Thanks,

Alan
