Interesting. I put back use of #+latex_header keywords for latex
snippets recently, but that is a double-edged sword. Overall, I'm not
sure which is the right behaviour here. Is there one, anyway?

To solve your problem, you can include your problematic header in a new
latex class instead of relying on latex_header. Another solution is to
put that latex_header line in an include file, or to generate it as
a macro.
