I was almost sure that code in verbatim environment was ignored during
parsing, but I was completely wrong.  Reading the code, there is no
such test and I think it's so for performance reasons.  The obvious
fix would be to do said test, but I fear parsing time would increase
sensibly.  I should do some tests.

For your specific problem, you can redefine
`TeX-arg-beamer-overlay-spec' function to do nothing, at least while
you work on that document.

Bye,
