 It's extremely easy to reproduce. Just type, for example, "2x-1" into a
 post. See what happens to the x? Now type "$latex 2x-1$" into a post. See
 how it doesn't render?

 Changing the "x" to, say, a "y" doesn't exhibit the problem. Nor does
 changing the minus to a plus or putting a space between the "x" and the
 minus sign. See the examples in the screen shot, below:

 Note that once the problem was noticed on our school blog, I made a new
 installation of WP on my testing server, and the problem persists there. I
 didn't install WP Latex or test LaTeX rendering on that test server,
 however, because the plain jane installation already exhibited the weird
 behavior wherein it changed the x to a small raised x--and this seems to
 be the problem that's interfering with the LaTeX rendering.
