Hi Eric,

I looked up org-special-properties:

org-special-properties is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is 
("TODO" "TAGS" "ALLTAGS" "DEADLINE" "SCHEDULED" "CLOCK" "CLOSED" "PRIORITY" "TIMESTAMP" "TIMESTAMP_IA" "BLOCKED" "FILE" "CLOCKSUM")

It looks to me as if FILE is the only one likely to play mischief with
bib files.

Thanks for the fix, which works as expected here.

All the best,
Tom
