Thank you very much, that works perfectly!

For future reference, I tweaked the source code block to allow
specifying multiple export backends, and to avoid generating results
when evaluating using C-c C-c:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :eval never-export :exports none :results silent
  (require 'cl-extra)
  (defun eval-if-export (backend)
    "For use within org-mode source blocks :eval argument. Causes
  the block to be evaluated if the current export backend matches
  any of the backends in BACKEND. (e.g., (eval-if-export '(latex
  html)))."
    (unless (cl-some (lambda (back) (eq org-export-current-backend
back))
                      backend)
      "never"))
#+END_SRC

Then using:
#+BEGIN_SRC org :eval (eval-if-export '(html)) :exports
results :results replace
  ,* HTML only heading
  Text which should appear in HTML exports, but not \LaTeX{}.
#+END_SRC

The syntax isn't as elegant as #+BEGIN_EXPORT <backend> ...
#+END_EXPORT, but it works nicely enough.

Thanks,
