Right: (current-buffer) is not what you think it is when exporting - it is
the temp buffer that the export mechanism sets up.

There is a way to get the original buffer during capture, but I don't
know of a similar mechanism during export. I hardwired the file name
instead, but I got no further than the vc-fileset call: there seem to be
all sorts of contextual assumptions that vc makes that are violated in
the export context.
