Yes, sorry, I didn't write my response very well at all.  I wasn't
implying that beamer could not do what you wanted, only that you could
resort to latex if you definitely wanted to have a very specific
solution.  My point was that beamer generates \maketitle and that this
works just fine (for me) in beamer so that there is no need to use the
latex construct I wrote which is what you implied you were using in
latex directly.

but this all works for me.  As others have said, upgrade your org
version (which *is* rather old unfortunately).
