This definitely seems wrong. Unfortunately, it's not as easy to fix as 
one might hope. The problem---if anyone's reading this---is that 
Paragraph::latex() takes a BufferParams argument, whereas we would need 
to access the master Buffer to fix this. Should Paragraph::latex() 
instead take a Buffer? Is there actually any good reason it needs such 
an argument? Why not just find the BufferParams via inset_owner_?
