Hi

When using a recent (i.e. in the past day) build of pandoc 1.9, the new beamer mode can't handle images. For example, with a slight deviation on the sample slideshow given in the README:

```markdown
% Habits
% John Doe
% March 22, 2005

# In the morning

## Getting up

- Turn off alarm
- Get out of bed

## Breakfast

- Eat eggs
- Drink coffee

# In the evening

## Dinner

- Eat spaghetti
- Drink wine

## Going to sleep

- Get in bed
- Count sheep

![spaghetti](sausage-spaghetti.jpg)

```

trying to make a beamer presentation results in this:

```
$ pandoc -V theme:Warsaw -V colortheme:whale -i -t beamer test-pandoc-beamer.txt -o test-pandoc-beamer.pdf
pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source.
! Paragraph ended before \Gin@iii was complete.

\par
l.113 \end{frame}
$
```

Is this a bug, or is there merely no way to put images into LaTeX slides (including beamer slides?)
