Yea, a filter seems appropriate here to me as well.  I hadn't thought of
this option when proposing the patch.

Here's my fancyvrb filter for when such a place is created.

    (defun org-latex-filter-fancyvrb (text backend info)
      "Convert begin/end{verbatim} to begin/end{Verbatim}.
    Allows use of the fancyvrb latex package."
      (when (or (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'beamer)
                (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex))
        (replace-regexp-in-string
         "\\\\\\(begin\\|end\\){verbatim}"
         "\\\\\\1{Verbatim}"
         text)))

    (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions
                 'org-latex-filter-fancyvrb)

Cheers,
