Please find an org file and the corresponding tex file attached. The
directory structure is as follows:

~/src/org--images--foo.png
         |
         |--latex--example.{org,tex}
                 |
                 |--example.t2d/pdf/build

Just executing

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     texi2dvi -p -b -c -V example.tex
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

from the command line produces the error:

,----
| /usr/bin/texi2dvi: cd /home/nick/src/org/latex/example.t2d/pdf/build
| ...
| LaTeX Warning: File `../images/foo.png' not found on input line 37.

|

Note the top line in the excerpt above. Taking out the -c gets rid of
the error (at the price of leaving all the toc/aux/log/etc files around
of course). --tidy exhibits the same symptom.
