That's a sensible habit.  I guess you haven't seen that error previously
because you always opened another tex file in some existing directory
first.  The error only occurred when tex.el was initially loaded while
default-directory was set to some non-existent directory.

No, the problem is definitely there since 2016, no recent change
involved.

Should be fixed on master.  Please give it a try.
