The default list is defined in ox-latex.el, which doesn't know anything
about ox-beamer.el. The drawback is that it doesn't seem clean to me.

I think it's better to make it a fallback value hardcoded (or in
a defconst) in ox-beamer.el instead.

If the author is cautious about keywords used (i.e. #+BEAMER: or
#+LATEX:), it should be possible to export the same document with either
`beamer' or `latex' back-end. Though, I don't know how much difference
there would be between the output from `latex' and a Beamer handout
produced with "article" class.
