Bug: Org LaTeX export has broken encoding for extra headers [6.36trans (release_6.36.542.gc87b)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

I'm doing a LaTeX beamer presentation with org.  The org doc starts with
these lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+STARTUP: beamer
#+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer
#+TITLE: Implementieren, Integrieren, Installieren
#+AUTHOR: Tassilo Horn
#+EMAIL: horn@uni-koblenz.de
#+LANGUAGE: de
#+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL: 2
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [presentation]
#+BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA: \usetheme[secheader]{Boadilla} \institute{Universität Koblenz, IST}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In the presentation, the ä in Universität is printed as an A with a ~ on
top, followed by a d'.  The reason is that the BEAMER_HEADER_EXTRA is
put before the input encoding declaration.  To be clear, org produces a
TeX file that starts with

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% Created 2010-07-06 Tue 08:57
\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}
\usetheme[secheader]{Boadilla} \institute{Universität Koblenz, IST}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but it should be at least:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
% Created 2010-07-06 Tue 08:57
\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usetheme[secheader]{Boadilla} \institute{Universität Koblenz, IST}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In general, I'd say that it would be even more safe to put the extra
headers below all default headers.

OK, I am doing that now - let's hope this will not break anything.

Please note that you can specify the precise order of all those header  
pieces by
putting these cookies into you class definition:

  [DEFAULT-PACKAGES]      \\usepackage statements for default packages
  [NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]   do not include any of the default packages
  [PACKAGES]              \\usepackage statements for packages
  [NO-PACKAGES]           do not include the packages
  [EXTRA]                 the stuff from #+LaTeX_HEADER
  [NO-EXTRA]              do not include #+LaTeX_HEADER stuff
  [BEAMER-HEADER-EXTRA]   the beamer stuff

Well, at least for my presentation it works fine now. :-)

Thanks for the hint.
