Because CUSTOM_ID's value may contain forbidden characters in LaTeX,
e.g., "%".

Oh ... thanks for this explanation. Speaking for myself, I would have prefered to

take the risk to use forbidden characters in CUSTOM_ID.

See also `org-latex-prefer-user-labels', which is not
implemented in Beamer, since BEAMER_OPT can already force a value for
label.

This is a pity. Things would be more straightforward.
