You could try creating a shell script (such as attached) which invokes
both pdflatex and bibtex and tell org to use that command for exporting
to pdf instead.  Then all the output should come out to the screen.

I've tried this and all the output (3 pdflatex and 1 bibtex invocations)
comes out into the =*Org PDF Latex Output*= buffer.
