Yes, fixed, thank you!

BTW, now that I'm actually using the new exporter, (despite my
complaints at first) I find it an improvement over the old beamer
exporter. The org representation of the LaTeX structure seems cleaner
and more consistent. While I would have liked to use my old
presentations without much editing, it's well worth the effort.

A concrete example: Often, I want to have a column of bullet list on
the left and an image on the right. In the old exporter, the columns
had to be marked by headlines, which produced a bullet point. So then,
I had to display silly things like:

> Screenshot     ( ">" represents the bullet)
  Image below

In the new exporter, a column is still a headline, but that turns into
a block and a headline is hidden. So this:

*** Right column (screenshot)       :BMCOL:
    :PROPERTIES:...
    [[./img/whatever.png]]

Displays perfectly cleanly, no extra junk in the PDF. (And the image
even inherits the column width, which the old exporter did not do
nicely IIRC.)

TL;DR -- I take back most of what I said before :)
