I've found the following odd behaviour in windows being re-arranged
within a frame. It is not bothering me too much (yet), but I thought
I'd report it in case others see it.
If I start emacs, and maximise it on my desktop machine, it is wide
enough to allow two full windows side-by-side (i.e. left-to-right) when
I do C-x 3.
(window-width) reports 103 in each window.
If I view say *scratch* in my left window, and an org buffer in the
right window, then do "C-c C-e", the org buffer is then shown in the
left window, and the temp buffer (*Org Export/Publishing Help*) appears
in the right window. So, the org buffer temporarily switches from left
to right. When I then hit say 'd' to complete the export (to tex->pdf),
the original window configuration (*scratch* in left, org in right)
returns.
Is this desired behaviour? It seems a little odd that the org buffer
would be pushed temporarily into a different window whilst the help is
displayed. I would expect the help buffer to appear in the left window.
(If I start with the org buffer in the left window, the temp
buffer appears in the right window, as expected.)
(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
of 2010-05-24 on maps"
My guess would be that org-fit-window-to-buffer is doing this.

It seems more likely that the call to delete-other-windows in
org-export is the cause of the problem. Can you try removing it
to see what happens. I presume it is there in case you have an
Org buffer and /many/ other small buffers, in that case you don't
want to pop up the help message in one of the small buffers,
because you might not see it all.

Thanks Lawrence -- you were right! If I comment out that call to
(delete-other-windows) in org-export, all works just nicely.
