As a short term solution, I think the (i) is the best. That's exactly
what happens to LaTeX environments: in `org-latex-latex-environment',
the caption is dropped and only the label, if any, is inserted in the
environment.
As a long term solution, it would be interesting to be able to do (ii),
for both tables in math mode (but not in inline-math) and LaTeX
environments: captioning an equation is a reasonable request.
