Sounds like a problem with cursor motion in the presense of newlines
in before and after string properties -- maybe something for our
"line-move" experts to look into.

As in:
.. (newline)
\begin{smallmatrix} 1&2\\ (newline)
3&4 \end{smallmatrix} (newline)
I.e. if input is like this, image can be sliced; otherwise, image is
not sliced. Sounds like a sensible approach to me -- if the
latex-mode (or whatever) can help you write in the proper format and
warn (different coloring like in makefile-mode) if there are things
which breaks that format.

Good.
