Show me a snippet that causes the problem.  You can COMMENT a tree or
add a :no-export tag to bisect.  Or you copy can copy over a subtree and
experiment with it.

Difficult to say where it is coming from.

At the minimum you may have to

  M-x byte-compile-file ox-odt.el

and may be fix regenerate autoloads.  See the recipe at the end of this
message for a cumbersome but a fool proof method.

You need to install the Chicago jar file which contain the *.layout file
that JabRef needs.

From the command line look at the output formats that JabRef reports.
You should see ODF there.

Do M-x find-library ox-jabref.el and follow the instructions there.

ODT exporter has it's own citaion mechanism and doesn't depend on
ox-bibtex.el.

HTML uses MathJax while ODT uses MathToWeb. Two different things.

Look at

    M-x org-export-as-odf-TAB

for checking against simple latex equations.

Check if the latex equations are png files or something else.

You can extract the relevant sections from test-new.org and experiment
with the excerpts.

One thing you could do is this

1. Download org-*.tar file with wget or firefox.
2. Untar it.
3. Replace ox-odt.el, the style files and copy over the ox-jabref.el
   file.
4. Re-create the tar file (with the new files).
5. Do

       M-x package-install-file

   to install the new elpa.
