Looks like `org-src-coderef-format' returns something weird for one of
the code blocks.

To debug, you can try to patch `org-babel-tangle-single-block', catching
when `org-src-coderef-regexp' is called with nil argument (it must be a
string). Then, examine which source block you are at when that happens.
