oops, that was the GTK_ Version number. My emacs is 24.3.1.

Yes and Yes. At least, I swear it worked in my hands yesterday, but today the
answer is No and No. !! I can't explain what has changed.

In my hands, both the #+CAPTION and the #+att_latex as you place them are
deleted upon source block evaluation.
Are you sure your placement works for you?
Summary: In my hands today, there is no placement of them that both survives
source block re-evaluation and works. And, they can both be placed immediately
above or below the #+RESULTS: line and are respected on export.
(However, another funny interaction, the caption of the longtable has multiple
entries, one for each page, in my #+LATEX: \listoftables )
Hmmmm....
