Thanks for the report. I'm not super familiar with how the texht option works. I did made the following change base on recommendation from Nicolas in the :options-alist.
(:latex-hyperref-p nil "texht" org-latex-with-hyperref t)
to
(:latex-hyperref nil nil org-latex-hyperref-template t)
From Nicolas: "... we can replace "texht" with nil since it doesn't make much sense to specify a full template from the OPTIONS line."
I believe the patch worked without substituting "texht" with nil in this line.
I'm not sure if this is a regression or if your document requires updating. That's not my call. Just chiming in with what's relevant to this side effect you're experiencing.
