Try the round-trip suggested in sec. 11.3, "Literal examples", of the
manual: C-c ' on the block, then C-c ' to go back. Here is the example
that I used in a recent bug report[fn:1] after round-tripping it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo
#+begin_example
,#+TITLE: foo
,* One
One
,* Two
Euler says:
,#+begin_latex
\[
\int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = {{\sqrt{\pi}} \over {2}}
\]
,#+end_latex
#+end_example
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It indented and added commas in front.[fn:2]

[fn:2] Unfortunately, it does not fix things: the bug is still biting
me. Actually, it's two bugs: one is a generic one, the other is
specific to latex export.
