I can reproduce the bug easily with "emacs -q" for all my LaTeX
files. (Usually I use auctex instead of tex-mode.) But it's not
clear to me, what the code is supposed to do. tex-bibtex-file calls
tex-main-file, which returns a relative filename. If there is just
one LaTeX file, it is this file's name (without any directory). But
then the working directory for the bibtex command is what
file-name-directory returns for the relative file name returned by
tex-main-file. This directory is usually nil. So the working
directory for the bibtex command becomes the $HOME directory and
bibtex fails.
I suggest, someone should look at this who is more familiar with
what tex-mode.el is supposed to do. This is a bug that should be
fixed before the next release.
