It's a feature.  We had a lengthy discussion about it a while ago
(myself, Nicholas and Aaron, I believe) 

You can turn it permanently off by issuing

    (setq org-latex-image-default-width nil)

I tested the code in my "own" Emacs and not emacs -q.  To get no width
I do

#+NAME: name
#+ATTR_LATEX: :placement [htb!] :options scale=1.5  :width ""
#+CAPTION: a float needs a caption
[[file:signature.pdf]]

becomes:

\begin{figure}[htb!]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1.5]{signature.pdf}
\caption{\label{name}a float needs a caption}
\end{figure}

Org-mode version 8.0.3 (release_8.0.3-183-gca9937 @
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/).

This should work, though, also given the earlier discussion.  At least
it does for me using the version above and emacs -q.

Right; thanks I missed that.  Thanks!  This is inconsistent.  It also
seems wrapfig needs {} tho I've never used it. 

Perhaps it could be made more consistent?  At least the variable and
the local arguments should be similar. . .
