Correct. It's done by the function `org-export-solidify-link-text'. The
problem is that it isn't used consistently across the back-end. It
should be fixed now.

You may use \nbsp{} entity.
My keyboard layout allows for easy access to non-breaking spaces. So
I use the following instead (_ character stands for the non-breaking
space):
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun ngz-latex-filter-nobreaks (text backend info)
"Ensure \"_\" are properly handled in Beamer/LaTeX export."
(when (memq backend '(e-beamer e-latex))
(replace-regexp-in-string "_" "~" text)))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-plain-text-functions
'ngz-latex-filter-nobreaks)
#+end_src
HTH,
