Indeed, you can make the src block work (produce a png) by adding imagemagick in the src block. It works because the generation process is completely different.
But my main concern is that there is a bug in "ob-latex" : when you want to produce a png without imagemagick, either it does not work, although it should, or it produces a svg ! By the way, I did ask on this mailing list a previous question about generating svg from tikz/latex src blocks. It did not work with imagemagick, but it works well without (also with htlatex), provided your default settings is 'dvisvgm. This is also why I wonder if there is a maintainer for "ob-latex", such previously mentioned bug should/could be corrected.
