Sorry... looks like a by-product of still being pretty recent on the
new export engine and thus we have some instances of both new/old
instruction sets being out there in the wild. Can you see if this
works properly?
- http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/beamer/ox-beamer.html

Aka, simply having this in .emacs:

(require 'ox-latex)
(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("beamer"
               "\\documentclass\[presentation\]\{beamer\}"
               ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))


Good luck,
John
