Have you tried adding it unconditionally in the org-export-latex-classes
alist?  I don't think it hurts to have it on by default (it costs a bit
of performance maybe, but it should not be noticeable.) OTOH, verbatim
is a can of worms: it should be avoided if at all possible. It cannot be
used in moving arguments (at all: see

http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=verbwithin

for details.) - and what beamer does with it is a mystery to me - hence
the "avoid at all costs" statement.

HTH,
