Just a shot in the dark which might be completely misleading, but ...
I noticed a thread recently on emacs-devel which talked about one of the
problems with async calls in Emacs is that they cannot handle user input
correctly. All seems to work fine provided the async process being
generated doesn't try to wait for user input at some point. I'm
wondering if this could be a problem when exporting to latex if the
underlying latex process encounters errors and is waiting for user input
before it can continue (which happens if there are problems in the tex
source latex is trying to process)?
It might be worth checking next time you encounter an error if you can
run latex on the generated *.tex file and see if it waits for user
input?
