Suvayu,

the bug is due to the expression in the texi2dvi script used in an
egrep command.  The reason it is hitting you now and not before is
that the default sequence of commands for exporting org files to PDF
has changed from a sequence of "pdflatex" and "bibtex" commands to one
of using only "texi2dvi".  You can fix the problem by changing the
variable org-latex-to-pdf-process.  I have set it to

: ("pdflatex %f" "bibtex %f" "pdflatex %f" "pdflatex %f")

and this works just fine for me.  If you don't need bibtex at all, you
can remove that entry.  You only need multiple runs of pdflatex if you
have cross-references (including tables of contents etc).

This is a solution in one sense but the real bug is the egrep
expression in texi2dvi which is why it is suggested that a bug report
be filed.

HTH,
eric
