LaTeX export - can't skip a heading level

[Richard Stanton <stanton@haas.berkeley.edu>]

Using org-mode 7.8.03, I've found that exporting to LaTeX has a tough time
if you try to skip a header level. For example, to prevent my TODO items
being numbered, one method is to make them a lower-level heading, and then
make that level un-numbered.

However, if I try the following:

* To Do List
*** TODO First item
*** TODO Second item

Then when exported to LaTeX, only the title appears (both TODO items are
excluded).

I tried make the first title one level lower, like this:

** To Do List
*** TODO First item
*** TODO Second item

* Next Section

Now the TODO list exports, though it now treats ** as the section header,
so it hasn't solved that problem, and moreover, the next section is
omitted entirely.
