With that knowledge, I'd go spelunking in the $VIMRUNTIME/
folders for the tex-related plugins/syntax/filetype files to see
if there are "map" commands that should be "nnoremap" commands.
Or perhaps you have some of your own additions under $HOME/.vim/
that might be bunging matters.

And what is the difference between map and nnoremap?
Well, there's "map", "nmap" and "nnoremap". I tend to use
"nnoremap" rotely because it's usually what I mean.
map applies pretty much anywhere
nmap applies only in normal mode
nnoremap also applies only in normal mode, but prevents recursive
expansion. Thus, if you did something like
:nmap <up> g<up>
you'd likely have problems because the <up> on the right-hand
side (RHS) of the mapping again gets expanded to make it "gg<up>"
which would then be expanded to "ggg<up>", ad infinitum.
:nnoremap <up> g<up>
prevents things on the RHS from expanding as additional mappings.
The same applies to any of the "*noremap" commands.
When I create a mapping, I generally mean "do this list of things
as if they are actual Vim commands, even if I accidentally
overwrite one of its constituent parts with a new mapping".
Each has its uses, but for my general uses, "nnoremap" is almost
always what I mean, so I just type it and think later...or not at
all :)
:help recursive-mapping
has more details on the matter.
I inserted several map commands. Here is my list:
:syntax on
imap <F3> <C-O>:!pdftex book.tex<Cr>
map <F3> :!pdftex book.tex<Cr>
imap <F4> <C-O>:!texexec book.tex >/dev/null<Cr>
map <F4> :!texexec book.tex >/dev/null<Cr>
imap <F5> <C-O>:!acroread book.pdf<Cr>
map <F5> :!acroread book.pdf<Cr>
map <F2> 1GgqG
imap <F2> 1GgqGi
Do you see any that could be causing trouble?
I noticed those in your *vimrc files, but didn't see anything
among them that would have triggered the exact text you had in
your original example (something about "wqa" or "update" or
something like that). However, if some of the above text appears
in your text at "random", perhaps they are of a problematic ilk.
There's no harm in changing them to more precise mappings
("inoremap" and "nnoremap") to eliminate one possible source of
problems.
