I shortened the document by moving "\end{document}" around to try to find the problem. In some cases, the document rendered correctly. I think this is related to having to many "section" type headings in LaTeX with no content. To test this, I added: \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage{blindtext} And then used "M-x replace-string" to replace "\subs" with "\blindtext^q^j\subs" to enter a lots of text into the document. It now renders correctly, with the end of the document back to where it should be. However, this is a work-around, not a solution, as part of the appeal of org-mode and the LaTeX export is to be able to work with and generate outlines and structures of documents first, before adding all the content.
