At the moment, beamer exporter is hooked into regular latex exporter
when latex class is "beamer".  This restriction is unnecessary when you
consider beamer as an independent back-end (i.e. you can call beamer
export even on your "article" setup).

Would you mind providing an example for that? I am not aware of that
special case.

Not really a problem, but Org limits text markup to six elements.  You
can easily choose to use another one for bold (i.e. with filters),
though.
