FWIW, I've been using the new beamer exporter for at least half a year, and 
I'm convinced the simplest way to handle frames is to set the H: export option 
to the heading level that you want to turn into frames. That is, typically I 
use top-level headings for sections, and my slideshows haven't been long 
enough yet to need subsections, so I set H:2 in one of the #+OPTIONS strings 
at the top. Then all "** Second level headings" become frames. No need to 
specify the beamer_env in the properties drawer.

It isn't always the case, but it does seem often to be true that simpler input 
avoids problems.

Hope that helps.
