What happens if you launch Emacs from the Terminal? I haven't used Mac 
OS in a while, but I guess something like this

    open -a /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/...

down to the binary emacs.

With that, Emacs will inherit the Terminal PATH. (Of course, with ` 
which tex ' in Terminal you should get something like ` /usr/texbin/tex 
' for the above to work.)

I think ELPA packages (which reside in your invisible directory .emacs.d 
in your Home directory) take precedence.
