Re: minimal testing setup for pdf export?

that does suggest that pdflatex is getting called somewhere else.

Maybe you can edebug the export function and check the value of
default-directory to see where it is getting called.

You could also try this

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun my-build (quoted-tex-file)
  (message "Building %s. Called from %s" quoted-tex-file default-directory))

(setq org-latex-pdf-process 'my-build)
#+END_SRC

It won't build the pdf, but it will tell you in the messages where it was
called from. It might help figure out what is happening.
