I believe this is due to the new syntax change for export blocks
announced a bit back. See:
- http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/plain/etc/ORG-NEWS

Try this instead:

* Hello
#+BEGIN_export latex
hi I am latex
#+END_export

I get this in the resultant .tex:

\section{Hello}
\label{sec:org1f84eec}
hi I am latex
\end{document}


Best regards,
