It's a complicated situation, because we now have two solutions to the
same problem... It certainly sounds a bit abrupt to remove
org-latex-line-break-safe (at least for now). I see no problem in both
solutions coexisting. After all, the user can always give an "\\\\"
value to org-latex-line-break-safe. The other possibility is that
org-latex-line-break-safe is selectively deleted, as you mentioned in a
previous email. In tables and verse blocks, unless I'm missing
something, I think adding [0pt] would be unnecessary, with the new
solution.

altered after the verse environment only appears when the last line ends
in \\[0pt]. If it ends in \\ the problem does not appear. It is not
recommended that a verse environment ends in \\, but it does not seem to
influence the output. In fact, that was how it was in Org in the days
pre org-latex-line-break-safe and there were never any problems.
