I just used a minimal config (below), and I get what appears to be the
same! I have an author/date on the front page, though. No idea how to
explain that one... I attached my generated .pdf if that helps. Do you
get any errors during compilation, or perhaps want to see if there's
any output in the *Org LaTeX Errors* (or something like that) buffer?
I wonder if there's a package that you could be missing... though
beamer should be pretty standard/straightforward and with everything
else working, I don't understand why that wouldn't work.

Happy to help. I recall following along from a distance as the mailing
list elisp experts were formalizing everything, seriously having no
idea what was going on. Then it was released and seemed like I might
as well figure out what this was all about. Glad you were able to
migrate and hope there wasn't *too* much pain involved!
