Copying and pasting is not quite the same as exporting a file,
since we cannot create a preamble with catcodes during copy and paste.

Nevertheless, I failed to reproduce the problem when using appropriate
user preferences for TeXmacs -> LaTeX conversions (Edit -> Preferences ->
Convert -> LaTeX).  More specifically, I use the 'Ascii' encoding and
have boxes 1, 2, and 5 checked.

Best wishes, --Joris
