I guess the solution is like the problem you mentioned above. You can
create a temporary back-end that exports code and verbatim objects
as \textt, using `org-latex--protect-texttt' function.

The calls to `org-export-data' at the end of
`org-latex--caption/label-string' can use this back-end instead.

I think it would be better to derive current back-end instead of `latex'
like we did in `org-latex-headline'. You can get current back-end with
(plist-get info :back-end).

HTH,
