I verified again, this time with emacs -Q; the empty argument list []
does NOT stop you from compiling org into PDF.

Here is the hint: since "minted" is using a python package (pygments) for
the highlighting, one need to add the "-shell-escape" to the call. Other
than that, everything works as planned. Since it's a specific
configuration for using "minted", I'll add a comment in the manual.
If you feel that there is still an issue with the [], please provide an
emacs -Q recipe that shows it, after adding the "-shell-escape" flag.
