hmm, sorry, I did not express myself in a good way.

what I meant is, if #+AUTHOR defaults to (user-full-name), could the
\setkomavar commands be placed /before/ \LoadLetterOption in the TeX
file,  and after \LoadLetterOptions if #+AUTHOR is set in the .org file?

So you'd still get only one set of \setkomavar in the TeX file, but get
a (for me) more useful order of #+AUTHOR != (user-full-name) > #+LCO >
#+AUTHOR == (user-full-name)
