I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 26.3.

Here's my test case:

emacs -nw ~/src/emacs/trunk/etc/refcards/refcard.tex
`C-c C-f' -> a dvi file is made

emacs -nw ~/src/emacs/trunk/etc/refcards/
open refcard.tex
`C-c C-f' -> a dvi file is made

Are you able to reproduce this if you start emacs with -Q?
