If I understood you correctly, you think LaTeX snippets will still be
exported when exporting to beamer, but not the other way around?  If so,
I don't think that is correct.  I'll do a quick test just to be
sure :-p.

Okay you are right!  The above example when exported to either LaTeX or
beamer looks like this:

  \begin{consequence}
  stuff
  \end{consequence}

This is a bit odd to me; is this a consequence of the fact that
ox-beamer derives from ox-latex?  Is it a feature or a bug?

Anyway, given the above your suggestion seems to be the correct solution
for now.

Cheers,
