For arbitrary backend, you can try

(defun exclude-from-latex-export-hook (backend)
  (setq org-export-exclude-tags (cons (format "noexport_%s" backend) 
org-export-exclude-tags)))

This is not a feature request I see often in the forums.
It is also easy to implement.
I think that it would be ok to add such feature if multiple users are 
interested.
