Ah, right: that's hardwired and needs source code changes.  The call is
in org.el:org-create-formula-image-with-dvipng. This was reported by
Ista Zahn (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/50533). I
would encourage you to submit a patch for this[fn:1] - maybe make it
conditional on the value of org-export-latex-listings.
