Not really: you end up pulling in auctex even if you are not going to
use it.

What missing variable definition? By the time the export is finished,
the let-bind is gone. There is no definition of TeX-master anywhere,
just as if you never had org loaded: why should auctex object to that?

So I don't understand why it would break: all the common scenarios that
I have tried work with no problem for me. I can load an org file, export to
latex, open the latex file (which loads auctex) and do auctex things to
it. I don't get any error. What exactly do I have to do in order to
break it?
