Tested it, and it seems to work fine.  I loaded a document
full of jpegs, and did a export->pdflatex.  The resulting .tex
compiled fine with pdflatex and not with plain latex, all as
expected.

I then did an oldfashioned export->latex, and got a .tex 
that latex processed just fine.  So nothing went wrong with
the latex export, which seems to be the only this patch touches.

I think this is a low-risk item that could go into 1.4.x, for
it adds functionality without messing with other things.

The only thing I would like, is somewhat better wording
in the menus.
Now it is
"export->Latex" and "export->PDFLatex", the latter could be confused
with pdf exports.

I think 
"export->TeX (latex)" and "export->TeX (pdflatex)"
might be better.  This  wording is the same as we use for
the various pdf exports.
