I just tested the latex link type and it seems to work fine here with a
recent Org mode from master.

I executed the source code block and then exported the following buffer
to LaTeX.

The LaTeX output looks fine:

Did your recent Org mode upgrade lose the latex link type somehow?

All the best,
Tom
