You can also write the same for odt:

  @@odt:\cite{key}@@

So, in your buffer, it would become:

  @@latex:\cite{key}@@@@odt:\cite{key}@@

And you can avoid the implied repetition with a macro:

  #+MACRO: cite @@latex:\cite{$1}@@@@odt:\cite{$1}@@

and write in your document:

  {{{cite(key)}}}

Note that you will need to escape commas (with backslashed) in key.

This also works for your more complicated example :

  #+MACRO: cite2 @@latex:\cite[$1]{$2}@@@@odt:\cite[$1]{$2}@@

This is not a bug. Parsing any LaTeX macro is way out of Org's league.
Org conveniently support some simple macros, that's all.
