I found a recent (Jan 2010) discussion about this. There was a change in
behaviour for bibtex in the latest texlive build which leads to this
behaviour. You can follow the discussion in this thread[1]. The TeX
developers expect external tools like org and other editor plugins to
adapt to this change. I think this is why I was having problems in the
first place, not sure how this can be resolved though. If we find a
solution it would be worth a mention on Worg.
