Ah, I see, I was unclear.
In this case I simply want to evalutate this code block with `C-c C-c'. 
I do not use the orgmode LaTeX exporter, only the HTML exporter.
Finally I will create org files with LaTeX code blocks which I will export to
HTML. And that's all. HTML export works fine with the old or the new
exporter.

Though in this case it is not really indispensable I only was wondering why
code block evalution does not work as expected. Why is
`\documentclass{article}' not recognized properly?
