I am not sure. The export result may originate from constructs like

#+MACRO: pagebreak @@latex:\\@@

Some paragraph {{{pagebreak}}}
src_elisp[:results raw]{(format "@@latex:[%dpt]@@" (or my-spacing-value 0))}

The point is: it can be done on purpose for some reason.

I see. I feel like it is too fragile to rely upon. At least, I'd use it
only if there are no better options.
