This is annoying, but I think you can get the product you want by 
"pre-wrapping" the results.

Here is an example:

#+begin_src org
  Show default:

  ,#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports both
  org-latex-tables-centered
  ,#+end_src

  ,#+name: awrappedtable
  ,#+header: :exports results
  ,#+header: :results value
  ,#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    '((1 2) (3 4))
  ,#+end_src

  ,#+begin_results
  ,#+attr_latex: :center nil
  ,#+RESULTS: awrappedtable
  : initial filler
  ,#+end_results
#+end_src


On export I get

Show default:

\begin{verbatim}
org-latex-tables-centered
\end{verbatim}

\begin{verbatim}
t
\end{verbatim}


\begin{results}
\begin{tabular}{rr}
1 & 2\\
3 & 4\\
\end{tabular}
\end{results}
