If the end goal is 

   #+BEGIN_my-verbatim
   #+BEGIN_LATEX
   stuff
   #+END_LATEX
   #+END_my-verbatim

Then I think it should be producible with babel via

   #+begin_src Emacs-lisp :wrap my-verbatim :results latex
   "stuff"
   #+end_src

However,

   #+ATTR_LATEX: :environment "my-verbatim"
   #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
   ... stuff...
   #+END_EXAMPLE

Is more general since it also produce sensible output in other backends.

Thus, I think passing attr arguments to example blocks may be
preferable...  Though *if* you are only going for latex export, :wrap
my-verbatim :results latex seems more convenient to me.
