Yes, that may be where the problem lies. I also have a problem
outputting PDFs instead of PNGs with the same setup (just changing .png
extension to .pdf). This gives me a message that the file wasn't
produced, but in fact a PDF with the correct image is produced --
however, it has a temporary file name, not the one I assigned to it.

I should probably try this with a minimal init file (need one loading latex as a
babel language and probably a few other things). Didn't get around to that.

I have tried this without success. Also tried adding the LATEX_HEADERS
keyword to the document. Doesn't solve the problem, but changes the
output from an image of the code to an empty image.
