@Carsten. Thanks for pointing that variable out. I'll experiment. I was encouraged by the fact that even when italics didn't work the way I wanted, the /slashes/ were always still intact. I figured if I got desperate, I could always do a second pass on an export hook, but I'll mess with the variable. How nice that it's flexible.
@ Matthew: Thanks for your setup. I'll be glad to poke around with it. @ Sebastian: Matthew's setup is considerably more refined than mine, but so far I've had good sucess with ebib, another BibTeX manager for Emacs. It lets you customize a few citation commands and makes it very easy to snag a quick citation key while writing. So far I write in org-mode and try to arrange it so I never have to look at the LaTeX file. But mine is a thesis, and it's not to the final stages yet. At the moment I still run (xe)latex-bibtex-(xe)latex manually, but that's only because I haven't sat down to customize the org variable to customize the latex command and run bibtex.
