[O] Bug: Usage of pmatrix yields error message dispite lack of error [9.1.9 (9.1.9-3-gb1a639-elpa @ /home/christoph/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20180402/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Org-mode seems to support environment-based math formulas. However, when
using pmatrix, the buffer *Org PDF LaTeX Output* always shows an
error when exporting to PDF via LaTeX. This even happens for the
simplest of matrices:

\begin{pmatrix}
0
\end{pmatrix}

An org file with only these 3 lines of content is sufficient for
reproducing the bug. Upon typing "C-c C-e l p", the error message "PDF
file produced with errors." is shown in the mini buffer. The buffer *Org
PDF LaTeX Output* shows this error message:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.31 \begin{pmatrix}
                    
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/umsa.fd)
(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/umsb.fd)
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
l.33 \end{pmatrix}

The formula is displayed perfectly well in the resulting PDF. Even when
using complicated matrices, this is the case. They are copied to the
LaTeX file verbatim and the PDF is produced just as expected.
