Thanks to Nicolas and Scott for your painstaking efforts. At least for me, a fine stopgap measure is to simply avoid Latex crashes for orgmode contents that are not explicitly Latex. Sometime after that, it would be ideal to produce similar output for all export types, insofar as that's

Yes, there's a general question of how to escape multiple underscores. But there's a bigger question too: Should an org-doc that runs fine in other exporters cause a messy-to-debug crash when it's exported to Latex? Is that the Pandoc-like behavior that orgmode seems to be aiming for? I love
