LaTeX export problem

[tsd@tsdye.com (Thomas S. Dye)]

Aloha all,

With a recent Org from git and this source:

  #+attr_latex: :width 0.8\textwidth :placement [htb]
  #+name: fig:harris-errors
  #+caption[Structural effects of false transitives]: Structural effects of false transitives with the stratigraphic section in Figure [[fig:fig12-open]]:
  #+caption: /left/, a Harris Matrix of contexts adjacent to Context 1 with false transitives for Contexts 5 and 6;
  #+caption: /right/, a directed graph of contexts adjacent to Context 1 that excludes false transitives.
  #+caption: The observed stratigraphic relationships for the two diagrams are shown on Table [[tab:harris-errors]].
  [[file:~/Public/projects/936-harris-matrix/figure/fig-12-harris-td-adj-1-tred-edited.pdf]]

I get this incorrect LaTeX output:

  \begin{figure}[htb]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{/Users/dk/Public/projects/936-harris-matrix/figure/fig-12-harris-td-adj-1-tred-edited.pdf}
  \caption[Structural effects of false transitives]: Structural effects of false transitives with the stratigraphic section in Figure~[[fig:fig12-open]]{\label{fig:harris-errors}\emph{left}, a Harris Matrix of contexts adjacent to Context 1 with false transitives for Contexts 5 and 6; \emph{right}, a directed graph of contexts adjacent to Context 1 that excludes false transitives. The observed stratigraphic relationships for the two diagrams are shown on Table~\ref{tab:harris-errors}.}
  \end{figure}

If I place a space between the final colon and the link on the
first #+caption: line, then I get the output I'm expecting (although
there is the extraneous space):

 \begin{figure}[htb]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{/Users/dk/Public/projects/936-harris-matrix/figure/fig-12-harris-td-adj-1-tred-edited.pdf}
 \caption[Structural effects of false transitives]{\label{fig:harris-errors}Structural effects of false transitives with the stratigraphic section in Figure~\ref{fig:fig12-open} : \emph{left}, a Harris Matrix of contexts adjacent to Context 1 with false transitives for Contexts 5 and 6; \emph{right}, a directed graph of contexts adjacent to Context 1 that excludes false transitives. The observed stratigraphic relationships for the two diagrams are shown on Table~\ref{tab:harris-errors}.}
 \end{figure}

Is there a work-around?

All the best,
Tom
