I cannot reproduce it either: the only way that this could happen is
if the :for-backend property is missing when org-export-preprocess-string
is called. But org-export-latex-first-lines sets that explicitly - *if*
you have a consistent version of org.

But Brenton seems indeed to be using remnants of an old installation.
His backtrace shows:

The ":for-LaTeX t" stuff on the marked line seems to indicate left-overs that
have gone stale.
