Since orgmode is a volunteer effort and the list is a relatively low

Let me reword your issue, but my understanding of LaTeX is limited so
please correct me if I am wrong.

You want to specify your affiliation with the institute command. AFAIU
the \institute command is declared in the header of a tex file. So I am
a little confused by your use of properties in org. Shouldn't something
like this after the "#+NAME:" and "#+AUTHOR:" directives work fine?

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \institute[short name]{My awesome institute}

Hope this helps,
