I should have mentioned before that pandoc doesn't compile the 
LaTeX, it just parses the LaTeX markup into an AST, discarding 
anything it cannot represent, and builds a document in another 
format from the AST.

However pandoc lets you run filters on the AST after having read 
the original document and before constructing the new document,
and it is (was) fairly simple towrite a filter which collects all 
figures and tables at a designated place in the document.

You can read about using filters here:

<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/README#L400>

You can find such a filter as I described before here:

<https://gist.github.com/bpj/f591a9e29fe974fa791f>

There are both a perl and a python version.
Make sure to read the description!

EDIT: it occurs to me that you sprobably want to put all tables 
together in one place and all figures together in another place.
Reply to this mail if that is the case!
