I did some more tests and it seems the issue happens when Emacs is just 
started and nothing (much) done in it.

Test description below.

* Setting up emacs and org-mode

** cleaning up emacs configuration
#+begin_src sh
# clean out .emacs.d
rm -rf ~/.emacs.d
# re-create and copy plantuml.jar
mkdir ~/.emacs.d
cp ~roklein/.emacs.d/plantuml.jar ~/.emacs.d/
#+end_src

** fetching org-mode git master
#+begin_src sh
mkdir $HOME/elisp && cd $HOME/elisp
git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
#+end_src

** local org configuration (local.mk)
#+begin_example :file ~/org-mode/local.mk
# Installation prefix
prefix  = /home/roklein/.emacs.d

# Where local lisp files go.
lispdir = $(prefix)/org-mode/lisp

# Where local data files go.
datadir = $(prefix)/org-mode/etc

# Where info files go.
infodir = $(prefix)/org-mode/info

# include files from contrib/lisp
ORG_ADD_CONTRIB = org-e-* org-md org-export org-contacts
#+end_example

** compile and install org-mode
#+begin_src sh
cd org-mode
vi local.mk  # see above
make
make install
#+end_src

This results in "Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-432-g545166 @
   /home/emacs/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp/)" from emacs M-x org-version.

* preparing the tests

Here I create ~/.emacs and ~/Documents/org/example/index.org as in the
former mail.

Further I create an image ~/example.png, simply containing the text
"FAIL!".

Touch  ~/Documents/org/other.org  (not ...txt)

* Test  preparation for each test

** cleaning up
    - closing emacs if open
    - executing the following commands
#+begin_src sh
cd
rm -rf public_html
rm Documents/org/example/index.tex*
rm Documents/org/example/index.pdf
rm Documents/org/example/example.png
rm .org-timestamps/*
#+end_src

* Test 1
   - Do test preparation as above
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 1
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export has the "FAIL!" image I created in the home directory.

* Test 2
   - Do test preparation as above
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/example/index.org
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 2
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export is Ok

* Test 3
   - Do test preparation as above
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/example/index.org
   - C-x b *Gnu Emacs*
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 3
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export is Ok

* Test 4
   - Do test preparation as above
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/example/index.org
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/other.txt
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 4
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export is Ok

* Test 5
   - Do test preparation as above
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/example/index.org
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/other.txt
   - C-x C-s
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 5
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export is Ok

* Test 6
   - Change ~/.emacs to autoload a file ~/Documents/org/other.org
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - (It has *Gnu Emacs* as front buffer)
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 6
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export has the "FAIL!" image I created in the home directory.

* Test 7
   - .emacs as in Test 6
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/example/index.org
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 7
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export is Ok

* Test 8
   - Change ~/.emacs to autoload a file ~/Documents/org/other.org
   - Start emacs from the command line.
   - C-x C-f ~/Documents/org/example/index.org
   - change buffer to other.org: C-f b other.org
   - M-x org-e-publish example
   - Have to type "yes" twice for executing plantuml.

* Result of Test 8
   - html export is Ok
   - pdf export is Ok

* Conclusion
   In these tests the issue only happens, when I start Emacs and
   publish without doing anything(much?)  else before publishing.

   Perhaps there is an issue with the setup and some stuff doesn't get
   initialized.
