Hum, I correct myself here: the compilation buffer does report the
mistake (I hadn't looked at it).  Also, the manual compilation with

   pdflatex org_generated_file.tex

does generate the same pdf provided that I hit <return> many times.
Also, I see that the message

   PDF file produced with errors.

appears in the *Messages* buffer.

So perhaps Org could display this message in the minibuffer instead of

   Running /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/cochard/Org/debug3.pdf...done

which leads to the impression that the compilation is OK.
