Form my point of view it is unnecessary magic. Originally #+latex_header 
is intended for valid LaTeX code and "% \usepackage{babel} % disable" 
does not make code invalid (being a kind of magic though). If you 
consider such cast as too verbose then even
     #+options: latex-l10n:nil
might be better. I am unsure if babel or polyglossia are parsed as 
strings or as symbols in such context. I am still against a DSL for 
"#+options:" to generate complex babel commands in favor of explicit 
"#+latex_header:".

I have realized that it resembles
     \documentstyle[russian,epsfig,wrapfig,12pt]{article}
from the previous century and LaTeX-2.09. Due to lack of support in 
babel, several alternatives to add Russian language existed and one of 
them required the \documentstyle option.
