I can't answer this as I do not deal with org-export-with-toc
directly. I was setting tocdepth via
org-export-filter-options-functions, specialized explicitly to latex
backend:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun my-consistent-toc (plist backend)
(cond
((equal backend 'latex)
(plist-put plist :with-toc -1))
;; other backend-specific settings
)
plist)
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-options-functions 'my-consistent-toc)
#+end_src
I was able to achieve the desired outcome with
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}
If this is not considered a bug, fine then. However, this is confusing
behaviour at best, and given the rich functionality of filter-options
and friends, I don't see why it should silently fail here.
Lots of possible settings don't make sense. In my most humble opinion,
this sort of ad hoc type-checking—preventing valid document to be
produced without any notice—doesn't feel like it fits a dynamic Lisp, or
Org-mode.
