Ok great, Christopher please file this and yes, great to fix....how
broken is it at present? Enough to disable it, or just that case?

BibTeX import is not *very* broken, on the whole. If you look at the bug history, you'll see other issues.
 

Very cool feature....

Another cool feature for the site would be to output LaTex and
formatted files for multiple devices ;) Not sure what is possible on
this at present

Formatted files of what?

We have some LaTeX in summaries; we enabled the <math> tag a while back after Yossi Farjoun suggested it.
