I am using the org-plus-contrib package in org ELPA. 

The export block

#+begin_export latex
...
#+end_export

does not work properly. 
It produces

\begin{export}
...
\end{export}

in the .tex file and causes error.

Instead, I still need to use

#+begin_latex
...
#+end_latex
.

Is the version in org EPLA an out-dated one?

What version of org are you using? In latest versions, begin_latex is
now
#+begin_export latex
...
#+end_export
and this does fontify correctly for me.
