* Problems with exporting in org-mode 9.1.6

I am getting the error message «Wrong type argument: listp, #("This is
the Title" 0 17 (:parent (#0)))» (or similar) whenever I try to export
a file with header options to any format (html, txt, pdf via LaTeX,
...), if the file has a header.  Minimal example:

-->
#+TITLE: This is the Title

org-mode 9.1.6 does not seem to handle the headers properly.  When there
is a header, exporting fails with the message:  «Wrong type argument:
listp, #("This is the Title" 0 17 (:parent (#0)))».  There was no such
problem with previous recent org-mode versions.
<--

Exporting runs through correctly when I remove the line «#+TITLE: This
is the Title».

Any ideas there?

Thanks in advance

Rainer

This is a common issue, though I'm not sure about where it comes from.
In any case, you should check your configuration: it could be a mixed
installation or a hiccup from some extraneous package.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem, with org-mode 20180212 via ELPA.  I 
already tried removing the ELPA package and reinstalling, but the problem 
remains.  Any idea what exactly I could look for?

Cheers,
Daniel

This problem seems to occur whenever org is installed in two versions.
For me this is the version built into Emacs, and org-plus-contrib from
orgmode.org/elpa/.  This also causes a problem when starting without an
elpa directory in ~/.emacs.d/ about org-define-error (I may be wrong,
this is from memory).

My current workaround is to remove all compiled elisp files from the org
mode installation, for instance with the following command:

rm -f ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20180205/*.elc

Is there a better way?  Its been this way for me for some time now and
it really is annoying.

Regards,
Nathan
