  `:results latex raw' is equivalent to `:results raw'.

If you try C-c C-v C-i in your src block, you will get

,----
| Lang: latex
| Properties:
| 	:header-args 	nil
| 	:header-args:latex 	nil
| Header Arguments:
| 	:cache		no
| 	:exports	results
| 	:hlines		no
| 	:noweb		no
| 	:results	raw replace
| 	:session	none
| 	:tangle		no
`----

So the result is processed by the exporter as `raw', which works ok as 
long as the exporter leaves the latex alone --- as in your case.

But sometimes is not what you want.

For example, a naked ~tildes~ will be marked up as \verb~tildes~ under 
`:results raw' or `:results latex raw', and as ~tildes~ under `:results 
latex'.

Been there, too.
