Hello!

I'll start by confessing up front that I've been tinkering with
different exporting functions these past few weeks, so it's possible
that the bug I'm reporting here is of my own making.  I can't track it
down, so here I am, hat in hand, to ask

a) is this reproducible?  and,
b) if not, any idea which functions I should look at to chase it
   down?

If I have the following org file

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\mu
#+end_latex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and run org-export-as-latex, I get the following output

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% normal preamble stuff
% ...

\begin{document}

\maketitle


\section*{this is a test}


\mu

\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That's the correct behavior.  If I use this org file

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


and run org-export-as-latex, I get

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% normal preamble stuff
% ...
\begin{document}

\maketitle


\section*{this is a test}


\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex

\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In the second example, the #+end_latex line is not removed during
org-export-to-latex.

Possibly related, possibly unrelated, I'm also seeing that file-local
variables defined at the end of a buffer are being exported verbatim
during org-export-as-latex.  This only happens in cases where the
#+end_latex is also erroneously exported.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex

#+ Local Variables:
#+ org-export-latex-append-header: "
#+ \\usepackage{graphicx}
#+ "
#+ End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
  
gives

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% normal preamble stuff
% ...

\begin{document}

\maketitle

\begin{quote}
\mu
\end{quote}
#+end_latex

#+ Local Variables:
#+ org-export-latex-append-header: "
#+ \\usepackage{graphicx}
#+ "
#+ End:

\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This doesn't just apply to the quote environment, I've reproduced it
with other #begin/end_latex blocks that contain latex environments.
That is to say

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* this is a test
#+begin_latex
\begin{verbatim}
\mu
\end{verbatim}
#+end_latex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

has the same problem of including the #+end_latex tag after export.

This is with Org-mode version 6.08-pre01, GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1
(powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0, *Step 9.0) of 2008-10-01.


Can anyone reproduce this?  Any debugging tips?

Thanks,
/au
