Ouch! That is serious work!

Use a different wrapper for executing src block outside of exports.

Something like this (with suitable tuning) should work:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
   (defun ex-aware-wrap ()
       (if org-export-current-backend
 	  (concat "src org :exports results "
 		  ":results  replace "
 		  "\n#+ATTR_LATEX: "
 		  ":environment longtable")
 	"example"))
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :wrap (ex-aware-wrap)
(list (+ 1 2) 3 4)
#+END_SRC

HTH,

Chuck
