I see the error even when I start a vanilla emacs with no
customizations. Yes, you are right that
org-export-latex-default-packages-alist is the culprit, but the
problem is with the default value of this variable. You do not see the
problem because you have overwritten that variable to remove the
problematic part!

The default value of org-export-latex-default-packages-alist, as
defined on line 3076 of org.el, begins

(("AUTO" "inputenc" t)
 ("T1" "fontenc" t)
 ... etc ...

This works fine in the normal latex export, since the string AUTO gets
replaced by the correct file encoding, but this is not being done in
org-babel-latex.

It looks like the function that should be used is
org-export-latex-fix-inputenc, which is defined in org-latex.el

Cheers

Will
