Not really.

Or why not drop \textit?

But org-mode allow this!

I think that if something is allowed in org-mode syntax but not by the
underlining tools used for export, the exporter should take care to find
a suitable workaround.

I just found that the same problem (work in latex, does not work in
beamer) exists for footnotes in header!

A feature request would be to have some checks on org files a la
flymake, at least for common potential sources of problems that
usually break the export like:

- missing two empty lines after footnotes
- missing empty line after RESULTS:
- =string=[footnote]

Maybe something already exists and I am simply not aware.
