I believe this is caused by a typo in the following line in
org-export-latex.el:

(defcustom org-export-latex-list-parameters
  '(:cbon "\\texttt{[ ]}" :cboff "\\texttt{[ ]}")
                    ---
                     |
                     `-> This should be [X]

You can set this variable to override this default value, which could be
set this way to intentionally uncheck everything in the exported LaTeX
file.
