OK. ``git describe'' in your git tree will do the equivalent.

Yes, I can reproduce this (Org-mode version 7.7
(release_7.7.563.gf8d8.dirty)). I goofed before in not enabling latex
as a babel language in my minimal emacs.
The thing is that the usual debugging techniques are useless, because it
only happens with --batch. So the only thing that works is princ :-(
It turns out that there is a bunch of places in org-create-formula-image
(which gets called to convert latex formulas to png) that ask for
properties of the default face: there is no such thing in batch, and
various things blow up - e.g.
$ emacs -Q --batch --eval '(princ (face-attribute (quote default) :foreground))'
unspecified$
This bug has existed for ever, but I guess this is the first time
anybody exercised the code path.
In particular, the font height and the fg and bg colors are calculated
this way. I stubbed out these things (line 16898ff in org.el) with more
or less arbitrary values:
(fnh (if (featurep 'xemacs)
(font-height (get-face-font 'default))
(face-attribute 'default :height nil)))
(fnh (if (numberp fnh) fnh 140.))
and
;; (if (eq fg 'default) (setq fg (org-dvipng-color :foreground)))
;; (if (eq bg 'default) (setq bg (org-dvipng-color :background)))
(setq fg "rgb 0 1 0")
(setq bg "rgb 0 0 0")
and the test passes. Of course, this is not a fix, but I'm sure one will
be forthcoming shortly.
There may of course be more such problems in other untested paths.
Thanks for an interesting bug,
Nick
