Since I cannot reproduce the problem here, I can't say if this works
or not, but I submitted it and hope someone can tell us if it worked
or not.

OK, someone reporting for duty: I can happily report that the updated Latex bundle no longer has the problem with identically named tex files in different directories. Nice work!

[Are you still there Keith? Can you confirm the death of the original symptoms after updating to the latest version of the bundle?]
