This seems to be a compatibility issue with the forest package in
Latex. The problem is demonstrated and explained in the org file
below. I don't know yet what the solution is.

#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{forest}

* \LaTeX{} fragments: package ~forest~ confuses foreground color setting 
  Interestingly enough, the foreground color set by
  #+BEGIN_SRC elisp
  (plist-put org-format-latex-options :foreground "White")
  #+END_SRC
  does /not/ change the foreground color in this simple invariant
  equation \[ ab^n = ab\cdot b^{n-1} \] if ~usepackage{forest}~ is
  included in \LaTeX{} header. When package ~forest~ is not used,
  setting the color works just fine.

  To make things a bit more complicated, after commenting or
  uncommenting the ~LATEX_HEADER~ line, you need to remove the
  contents of directory ~ltximg~ in the working directory to see the
  difference, because the system caches the generated images of the
  equations there.
