I was being too sloppy and you were being too literal - you have to
have something to add. ;-) It's really just one parameter, its a
Python/object-oriented thing that gives a misleading error message.
Try:
sage: latex.add_to_preamble?
to get help. In there you will see examples such as:
latex.add_to_preamble("\\usepackage{xypic}")
Note the *double* backslash, where the first "escapes" the second one.

That looks just like it should, but then doesn't help explain why Sage
may not be seeing your TeX installation.
