Yea, a filter seems appropriate here to me as well. I hadn't thought of
this option when proposing the patch.

Here's my fancyvrb filter for when such a place is created.
(defun org-latex-filter-fancyvrb (text backend info)
"Convert begin/end{verbatim} to begin/end{Verbatim}.
Allows use of the fancyvrb latex package."
(when (or (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'beamer)
(org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex))
(replace-regexp-in-string
"\\\\\\(begin\\|end\\){verbatim}"
"\\\\\\1{Verbatim}"
text)))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions
'org-latex-filter-fancyvrb)
