Hi,
I cannot get org-bibtex to work for me. Tried in a clean emacs -Q. Emacs-
Version: 24.4.50, org-vesion: 8.2.6
Calling org-bibtex-read leads, independent of the bibtex entry used on (I
tried everything, including the example of the org-bibtex-documentation), to
the following error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
looking-at(nil)
bibtex-parse-entry()
org-bibtex-read()
call-interactively(org-bibtex-read record nil)
command-execute(org-bibtex-read record)
execute-extended-command(nil "org-bibtex-read")
call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
command-execute(execute-extended-command)
I am sorry if this is the wrong place, but I am not sure how to test if
bibtex-parse-entry is the real culprit. I would, of course, understand if I
cannot get help here for the pre-release snapshot of Emacs I am using.
Mathäus.

No worry, this is the right place to ask.
The function `bibtex-parse-entry' is using a regular expression called
`bibtex-entry-maybe-empty-head' to retrieve information from the point
location about the entry to parse.
The "looking-at(nil)" part of your error means this variable is not
set when `bibtex-parse-entry' -- while looking at the docstring of
`bibtex-entry-maybe-empty-head' I found `bibtex-set-dialect'... which
leaves us with the problem of correctly setting the dialect for the
buffer.
I don't know where to go from there, but you surely can dig further,
or someone else can help.
Best,
