That might also be an idiosyncratic bug of WSL2' implementation of the
virtual machine filesystem...

I didn't know that one could do that : the placeholders are not well
documented...

Nope, same problem : the *Org Preview LaTeX Output* buffer says :
../../../../../tmp/orgtexSyy18r.dvi: No such file or directory
This is dvipng 1.15 Copyright 2002-2015 Jan-Ake Larsson
If I understand it correctly, the %F placeholder should be an
*absolute* filename. It is not...
Couldn't the output directory of the :latex-compiler element being
hardcoded to, say, the curerent directory or a subdirectory thereof,
and ditto for the input directory of :image-converter ?
