AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'replace'Problem description
to_latex() assumes that MultiIndex level names, if any, are strings.
Related to #18669
As a general comment, I think to_latex() would benefit a lot from some refactoring which abstracted some of the (non-)escaping subtleties. There should be a way to avoid a replace() for each specific command, setting placeholders instead which are finally transformed all at once. This would also allow users to also insert "non-escapand" content (e.g. LaTeX formulae as labels) without setting escape=False, which in many cases is an imperfect workaround.
