True. This is because org-latex-headline is written this way:
,----
| (if (and numberedp opt-title
| ;; ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^ why this? Maybe there's a good reason...
| (not (equal opt-title full-text))
| (string-match "\\`\\\\\\(.*?[^*]\\){" section-fmt))
| (...)
| ;; Impossible to add an alternative heading. Fallback to
| ;; regular sectioning format string.
| (format section-fmt full-text
| (concat headline-label pre-blanks contents)))
`----
However, it need not be this way: LaTeX itself (or more precisely: the
default classes) seem to support the alt-title even for starred
sectioning commands.
Also, another way to circumvent this (/if/ there is some deep reason for
the above code which I don't see, which is quite probable) is to hack
into this part of the let form in org-latex-headline:
,----
| (section-back-end
| (org-export-create-backend
| :parent 'latex
| :transcoders
| '((underline . (lambda (o c i) (format "\\underline{%s}" c))))))
`----
and apply a (smart enough) filter in the (auxiliary) section-back-end,
something like removing a match for
\\footnote{.*?}
(this would be easy to break; in general, regexen are not a suitable
tool for this, because they can't "count" and match braces; however,
writing a suitable filter should not be extremely difficult).
