Hi,

just an MWE to show how this can be done without ALT_TITLE. The first part
is close to what Rudolf was looking for, so it might be something we could
see to include in org-mode, right?

Happy New Year,

#+TITLE: Unnumbered sections in ToC - MWE
#+OPTIONS: num:nil

* This is a test
@@latex: \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Test}@@

With this you can control what appears in the ToC:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
 * This is a test
 @@latex: \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Test}@@
#+END_EXAMPLE


* <<sec:mysec>>This is another test
@@latex: \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\nameref{sec:mysec}}@@

And you can also use ~nameref~ to get the full title into the ToC, since ~org~
calls the ~hyperref~ package:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
 * <<sec:mysec>>This is another test
 @@latex: \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\nameref{sec:mysec}}@@
#+END_EXAMPLE

Although for this, you'll need, for example,  to add the following to your local variables:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
# org-latex-prefer-user-labels: t
#+END_EXAMPLE

# Local variables:
# org-latex-prefer-user-labels: t
# spell-check-lang: "en_GB"
# End:
