Hi Nicolas,
Let me clarify to see if I understood things correctly.

Okay, I do follow this. However, doesn't LaTeX_CLASS determine what
goes into the \documentclass{class name} directive? If so, does having
\begin{frames}..\end{frames} in the exported tex make sense if the
documentclass directive says, for example, article?
What I'm getting at is, without the LaTeX_CLASS set to beamer, the
crucial \documentclass{beamer} directive is missing and the exported
LaTeX document won't be compilable[1]. Given the preceding comments are
correct, I would then say having a "beamer" class already defined in
org-e-beamer will save new users some trouble. Is my analysis valid, or
am I grossly wrong?

I think I know what went wrong; I had misunderstood your comment
earlier and had exported with the beamer backend Seb's original ECM. Of
course it fails because it explicitly asks for the "beamer" class when
that was not defined.
Cheers,
Footnotes:
[1] I tried this with the LaTeX_CLASS set to article, and there were
errors in the exported pdf.
