There are two things to consider: what belongs to the manual, and what
belongs to `org-beamer-environments-extra' docstring.

I think it is reasonable for the manual not to talk about %o, %r... but,
instead, simply point to the variable name.

Then what about changing

     Headlines also support 'BEAMER_ACT' and 'BEAMER_OPT' properties.  The
  former is translated as an overlay/action specification, or a default
  overlay specification when enclosed within square brackets.  The latter
  specifies options for the current frame.

into something like

   Headlines also support 'BEAMER_ACT' and 'BEAMER_OPT' properties. The
former is translated as an overlay/action specification, or a default
overlay specification when enclosed within square brackets.  The latter
specifies options for the current frame or block, and will automatically
be enclosed within square brackets.
