I have no idea what is going on but I can confirm that something is
missing. If I start emacs with -Q, execute the following

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/git/org-mode/lisp")
(require 'org-install)
(require 'org-latex)
#+end_src

visit the small beamer test file I sent to the list earlier today and
export to latex, I get only the title page and the empty outline.
Nothing else.

If I start up with my full initialisation, everything works just fine.

I've gone through my initialisation by eye and cannot see anything that
would make a difference. I will need to go through this more carefully
as I have many customisations, not only for org...

I don't think so. Although I do customise mine, if I include this in
the above test (-Q start), it makes no difference. I do not change the
"beamer" entry in any case.

I will play around later tonight and will get back to you then.
