Thanks, that's a bug.  I'll look into it ASAP.

Perhaps the  ox-latex.el way is the way to go:
#+TITLE: # i.e. nothing
The difference would be that here would have not to format subject
komavar at all.

Yeah, let's think about it.  From my point of view, basically never
using LCO files, I think 
  1. it should be possible to not post a subject.  I tried to implement
     this via #+OPTIONS: subject:nil.
  2. But perhaps I'm trying to be too clever.  I might have defined
     komavar-subject in an LCO file, but still changing subject
     formating on the go.  This is not possible.
  3. If letting subject be disabled by an empty title 2. won't break
     it.  So how about the condition (pseudo lisp):
     (or (title is nil) (subject is nil))?

It should be pretty simple to get to that state I think.

OK, perhaps there's a clever way to get it to accept several keywords
without a parenthese.  I'm not sure.

That should be possible.  I thought I'd tested it.  Note though, that
giving a single value overwrites the default.  I'm not sure whether it
should extend upon the default.

Cheers,
Rasmus
