I was having trouble getting a complete week view agenda and the left arrow and
right arrow would not move the agenda to subsequent weeks (the error displayed
would be "nil-type agenda"). The error in the Messages buffer was
"org-back-to-heading: before first heading". After some digging in my files I
tracked it down to a malformed heading:
The following causes nil-type agenda, or before first heading errors:
- *My heading
This is what fixes it, note the space after the "*"
- * My heading
I post this in case other users are struggling with the same issues and are
looking for a fix.
Since anyline that start with one or more "*" should have a space before the
first character, the org code could automatically fix or prompt the user to
fix/warn of lines that are missing the space. I am not a lisp programmer, so
I apologize for not jumping in and coding the solution.

Hi Arne,
thanks for this post.
First of all, font-lock should help to see easily if a heading is
incorrect, because the incorrect heading you showed would not be
fontified like a heading.
In addition, I have just installed a wrapper around `outline-back-to-
heading', where this error originates. The new error message will now
specify buffer and position of the error, so you can more easily find
and fix the error.
HTH.
