I think this behaviour arises because the exporter exports to a buffer
which it first empties. So the behaviour you see is very different from
when Emacs "reverts" a buffer when the file changes out from under it.
If so, I suggest you could achieve what you want by using the
org-export-* hooks to, for instance, save current position before export
and then jump to that position after export? Maybe
org-export-first-hook and org-export-latex-final-hook could be used?
Untried and obviously untested! And likely beyond my elisp capabilities
so I'd be very keen on seeing a solution. This behaviour has also
bothered me (well, very minor irritation) for a long time as I often
export to latex when debugging the export to PDF.
HTH,
eric
