I cannot reproduce it. koma-letter back-ends explicitly allows latex
export snippets, e.g.,

  #+title: @@latex:\something@@

produces the expected \something.

This is a feature. 

If @@latex:...@@ is supported in beamer export, you have no way to
insert latex-only code in a document that you plan to export using both
beamer and latex back-ends.

However, this doesn't apply in koma-letter.
