I'm confused how this creates a correct LaTeX document. The "\appendix"
command is not exported, since that section was tagged ":noexport:", in
which case, what is the point of having "\appendix"?

I *need* the LaTeX command exported. It changes things in the remainder
of the LaTeX document. A section titled "Appendix", which is what your
text above creates, does not create a correct LaTeX
document. Furthermore, Subsec1 and Subsec2 need to be promoted, either
in Org or in the export.

The above works, assuming that "noexportheading" doesn't export the
heading, but does export the content ("\appendix"), and the
"promotesubheading" does what you would expect.
