No problem; IRC is not very active.  If you don't get an answer there, I
think asking here is perfectly appropriate.  I think that the boxen machine
is no longer operational; I don't know if the IRC logs are currently being
kept, or where they might have migrated to.

The issue is with the simplification of the expression, rather than the
latex function.  The following currently works:

sage: latex(x.mul(x.power(-1),hold=True))
\frac{x}{x}

Is this sufficient for your purposes?  If not, the relevant code is in
sage/symbolic/expression.pyx (it's a big file: search for `hold=False`).
