Org, no, but (pdf)latex yes.

I would expect that the mistake be reported in the *Org PDF LaTeX
Output* Compilation buffer.  So far, what I saw in that buffer was
essentially what shows up when I run 'pdflatex org_generated_file.tex'
from a terminal.  Not this time: the "regular" pdflatex compiles
correctly, not the pdflatex that Org uses internally.

I thought what Org did was simply run pdflatex+bibtex+etc. just as
what one would do manually, but apparently there is some difference.
