Confirmed.

The problem is rather fundamental one.

Citation processing is supposed to be independent from the export
backends. However, `orgtbl-to-generic' is bypassing the citation
processing and calls `org-export-data-with-backend` directly with ox-org
backend not handling citation objects.

There are multiple issues revealed here:
1. ox.el currently treats missing transcoder info as "export all the
   unknown elements/objects and empty strings" - this is rather
   forward-incompatible design that may catch users by surprise when Org
   adds new syntax elements (as it happened here, with citations)

   May ox.el treat missing transcoders as `identity' and only export
   empty string when transcoder is set to nil explicitly?

2. Does it even make sense to apply the default oc-basic when exporting
   to org? Should we instead introduce something like oc-identity that
   does nothing and simply leaves the citations in the original Org
   syntax, later possibly processed by the specific export backend?
   Then, we can use this oc-identity in the default value of
   `org-cite-export-processors': (org identity)?
