Do you need to export a sub-tree?  I have no experience in anything
other than full file export for Beamer.  A sub-tree export doesn't work
for me on this file.

This is a beamer issue and nothing to do with org per se.  There are a
couple of options (untested) if you don't like the vertical
spacing.  You can add a "\vfill" line at the end or you can add the [t]
option to the frame.
