Rationale for the attached patch: It seems that a common problem that users have with exporting to LaTeX is unicode characters that cannot be represented in pdfLaTeX or LuaLaTeX/XelaTeX. In the Unicode TeX engines the warning is insidious, since the missing character warning is not preceded by a 'warning' string. Naturally, the added Org warnings do not solve the problem, but at least they give some clues on how to properly adjust the document.
