It would be nice to investigate about this error, it it persists.


Beamer is very bad at reporting errors at their true origin.

Actually, I had 2 errors.

First all my Org->TeX files use Babel, and they doesn't seem to cope well with colons in labels.
(org-lint even reports about it)
Unfortunately, the default naming scheme for internal labels is using colons. 
Hence I wanted to use my own labels.

(Actually, I don't understand what prevents "beamer 2015/01/05 3.36" to use colons in
labels. I thought that this problem has been solved around beamer 3.30.)

Oh! I got it.

The problem is that beamer expects braces around a label with colon when you setup the label
but *not when you ref it* :

\begin{frame}[label={sec:orgheadline1}]{Frame 1}
bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
\end{frame}

\againframe{sec:orgheadline1}

The braces at setup are required by the keyval package which is used to parse the options.
However, the label is called sec:orgheadline1 and not {sec:orgheadline1}.
But at the moment, ox-beamer outputs :

\againframe{{sec:orgheadline1}} 

I fixed it unintentionally by using my own label without colon.

So basically you need this:

        ((equal environment "appendix")
        (concat "\\appendix"
