i don't know why you were expecting this particularly for the
first and third variations. The first variation is equivalent to
expr//TeXForm
while the third is equivalent to
expr//TeXForm//TeXForm
why would you expect these to be the same? Perhaps you meant for
the first
(XYZ = TableForm[
{
{1, 2},
{3, 4},
{4, 6}
}, TableHeadings -> {{"1\[Rule]2", "2\[Rule]3",
"1\[Rule]3"}, {"q", "w"}}
]) // TeXForm
that is forcing the assignment to occur *before* applying
TeXForm. This will cause the first and third to be the same.
The second is perhaps somewhat unexpected but can be explained
from the following:
In[16]:= xyz = TableForm[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {4, 6}},
TableHeadings -> {{"1\[Rule]2", "2\[Rule]3", "1\[Rule]3"},
{"q", "w"}}] //
TeXForm;
In[17]:= xyz
Out[17]//TeXForm=
\begin{array}{ccc}
& \text{q} & \text{w} \\
\text{1$\to $2} & 1 & 2 \\
\text{2$\to $3} & 3 & 4 \\
\text{1$\to $3} & 4 & 6
\end{array}
In[18]:= % // FullForm
Out[18]//FullForm= List[List[1,2],List[3,4],List[4,6]]
In[19]:= xyz // FullForm
Out[19]//FullForm= TeXForm[TableForm[List[List[1,2],List[3,4],List[4,6]],=
Rule[TableHeadings,List[List["1\[Rule]2","2\[Rule]3","1\[Rule]3"],List["q",=
"w"]]]]]
That is for the second variation, TeXForm acts on the output
saved on the stack which is clearly not the same as what was
assigne to xyz
