I agree. I tried this with a relatively simple export, albeit with tables and
figures and references, and pandoc choked on the latex and I was not
able to figure out what the problem was.

For collaboration it is actually easier to do just that. Keep all of your R
files and latex files in the directory and pound out the draft in odt/doc.
Now trying org as a 'master' document to hold the latex (only tikz, no
other reason to use at this point) and R code. I can easily produce draft
documents in odt -> doc for collaborators. The challenge will be the
references on a unix computer. For mac and windows I don't think it is
a problem at that point.
A 'more mature' markdown exporter would help for medical writing.
