Yes. Pure text or another macro.

Not at the moment, but macros may change in the future. I'm unsure about
the best level to handle them, but it's probably too high at the moment.

On the other hand, I would like to avoid too much intersection with
inline Babel calls or src blocks.  For example, expansion could happen
before buffer is parsed, like in old exporter. But at the same time,
inline src blocks are executed, so I'm sure the macro could be replaced
with such a block.

I'm open to discussion about this.

This is because you're using "beamer" as your LaTeX class, which
probably doesn't have any association in `org-e-latex-classes'.

Note that even if it had one, it wouldn't work as expected since Beamer
is not supported yet (but I'll probably implement a first draft for this
back-end soon).
