Hi Tom,

The :file property is treated in a special manner when Org-mode resolves
properties (notice it is an element of the `org-special-properties'
variable).  I've just pushed up a change which temporarily removes :file
from this list while resolving bibtex entries.  This change should fix
your reported problem -- please let me know if it doesn't.  If any other
elements of `org-special-properties' seem likely to cause problems we
can temporarily remove them as well.

Best -- Eric
