That has been my habit since some very early bugs: see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/5285/focus=5417
Apparently the (old) latex exporter still shows symptoms of that
disease. Note btw, that the buggy behavior is confined to the old
exporter: the new exporter DTRT with or without the empty line.

But not originally: that's why I had to write and post my own and after you
reported failures with mine, I didn't bother running yours.
As an object lesson for all of us (we might as well get *something*
positive out of this disaster :-) ):
o post an ECM to begin with - no ifs, ands or buts.
o post what you tested *exactly*.
o test what you (or somebody else) posted *exactly* as it was posted.
