The problem was that I had customized my org-latex-pdf-process to the
texi2dvi recommended value:

         texi2dvi -p -b -c -V %f

The -c (equivalently: --clean or --build=clean) breaks relative paths
because texi2dvi executes in a different directory. The *Org PDF LaTeX
Output* buffer shows

  /usr/bin/texi2dvi: cd /home/nick/src/org/latex/foo.t2d/pdf/build

whereas the org file was in /home/nick/src/org/latex.

If you use texi2dvi, beware of -c (and also --tidy I presume).

So nothing to do with org, but maybe the customization option should not
include the -c.
