This will also work:

\(f = \begin{cases}
      t & 1\\
      f & 2\\
      \end{cases}\)


Technically, I think what happens is that latex-fragments are "objects" in
the lingo of org-element whereas environments are elements.  If you run
(org-element-latex-fragment-parser) at "\(f" it is indeed interpret
correctly as a latex-fragment.  Yet, the nested environment is recognized
as a latex-environment and it seems the former can't "hold" the latter.
Why the above work is because a latex-environment starts on its own line
(cf.  org-element--latex-begin-environment).

Nicolas will be able to tell if this is a feature or a bug.
