I can reproduce this and I think the problem is that the table includes the 
empty line after it and that
gets carried into the data that org-export-data passes into org-latex-matrices. 
I used the following file

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo

#+ATTR_LATEX: :mode math
| 1 | 2 |

whoops

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and the data has a ":beg 8 :end 44" specification that correspond to the '#' 
and the 'w' of the whoops.

However, it's hard to debug: when I try to edebug org-export-data I get the 
attached backtrace, presumably
because the cl-macrolet in org-export-data confuses edebug:

edebug.bt
