This is the trace I got otherwise. (See the trace at the end of the mail)

And it fontifies the headlines in bold fonts just as in slides (actually
too big for my NetBook).

Yesterday when I did a quick run the presentation was insipid and I
didn't get to see the big slide-like fonts. Honestly, I was a bit
surprised at why others were wowing. 

I ran the presentation today right after also doing a C-c C-e d (for
verifying Thomas' bug report on LaTeX internal links) and I see the
altered behaviour. I do think it is pretty impressive.

I think loading the org-latex.el makes this difference.

No I don't see any overlays. I will investigate the problem sometime
later. Possible that it has something to do with ltxpng or missing image
libraries.
