Not sure.
If we look into the manual, here is what it says:

13.3 Table of Contents
...
   Org includes both numbered and unnumbered headlines in the table of
contents(1).  If you need to exclude an unnumbered headline, along with
all its children, set the ‘UNNUMBERED’ property to ‘notoc’ value.
...
   (1) At the moment, some export backends do not obey this
specification.  For example, LaTeX export excludes every unnumbered
headline from the table of contents.

So, ox-latex is technically not right when it ignores unnumbered
headings in TOC.

We might consider changing the current defaults to be consistent with
the rest of export backends + a defcustom/export option to allow users
fall back to historic defaults.
