Hello,

when storing a link of an bibtex entry I get an lisp error. This happens
because I have more then one function for storing bibtex links and
org-store-link calls completing-read with initial-input as symbol not as
string.

This has been changed in commit

commit 0cc231a7bb9f261640205943ddeb42ad8cefc43d

Not working:
(completing-read "what: " '(a b c) nil t 'a)

Working:
(completing-read "what: " '(a b c) nil t "a")

In the version before the given commit then initial-input parameter was
the "symbol-name" of the value.

The following change repairs the problem, perhaps this is sufficient.
