It is at least fragile. HTML export results in separate paragraphs:

<p>
One sentence is here.
</p>
<p>
The third sentence is here and should be in the same paragraph as the

I am unsure, but "#+latex:" probably belongs to "Keywords" that are 
elements, so it should end a paragraph. If such interpretation is 
correct than either LaTeX exporter has a bug or syntax description 
should be justified.
