[bug?] org-latex-table-caption-above has no effect

[James Harkins <jamshark70@gmail.com>]

Not entirely sure if this is a bug or not, but it seems to be a regression.

According to [1], the customization variable org-latex-table-caption-above was added to allow table captions to come underneath the table. I can't see any indication that the variable has been deprecated, but in my environment, it has no effect at all.

I've set the variable to nil:

org-latex-table-caption-above is a variable defined in `ox-latex.el'.
Its value is nil

However, when I use the following minimal example, the exported LaTeX code places the \caption{} before the tabular environment.

~~
#+DATE: <2013-07-23 Tue>
#+OPTIONS: texht:t
#+LATEX_CLASS: article

* Heading
#+CAPTION: A table
#+NAME: table1
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :starred t :options [htb]
#+BEGIN_table
| Row 1 | Something      |
| Row 2 | Something else |
#+END_table
~~

Actual exported LaTeX (excluding preamble, with comment added by hand):

~~
\section{Heading}
\label{sec-1}
\begin{table*}[htb]

% Why is this at the beginning?
\caption{\label{table1}A table}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Row 1 & Something\\
Row 2 & Something else\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table*}
~~

Expected:

~~
\section{Heading}
\label{sec-1}
\begin{table*}[htb]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Row 1 & Something\\
Row 2 & Something else\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{table1}A table}
\end{table*}
~~
