One possible workaround would be to define a macro with a conditional:
if exporting to LaTeX, returns the string 'toc:nil'; otherwise, returns
'toc:t'. And the LaTeX command can be added via a export snippet.
Something like this:
#+MACRO: mytoc (eval (if (eq org-export-current-backend 'latex) "#+OPTIONS:
toc:nil" "#+OPTIONS: toc:t"))
{{{mytoc}}}
@@latex:\tableofcontents*@@
