Tables and org babel

Hi,

I'm having troubles getting more than one cell from an org table as a
variable in org-babel. Trying this example from the orgmode manual (
https://orgmode.org/manual/Environment-of-a-Code-Block.html):

#+NAME: example-table
| 1 | a |
| 2 | b |
| 3 | c |
| 4 | d |

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var data=example-table[,0]
  data
#+END_SRC

yields no result and in the *Messages* buffer:

executing Emacs-Lisp code block...
(data '(1 2 3 4))
Loading reftex...done
org-babel-insert-result: Wrong type argument: markerp, nil

This has worked for me in the past so I'm not sure what has changed other
than upgrading to emacs 27.2. Referencing a single cell [0,0] works as
expected.

Org 9.5
Emacs 27.2

Thanks for any help
Henrik

Data point: works just fine for me.

my data point:

- emacs -Q: works as (i assume) expected
- emacs: i get an error, with this backtrace

i haven't noticed anything weird recently, but this may well be
something in my setup that's odder than "normal org mode" stuff.  so, a
grain of salt is warranted.

cheers, Greg

sorry, in fact, =-Q= doesn't matter:

failing:
- Org mode version 9.5 (9.5-g531577 @ /home/minshall/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)

succeeding:
- Org mode version 9.5 (9.5-gced2b3 @ /home/minshall/.emacs.d/straight/build/org/)

cheers, Greg

Thanks Greg,

I updated to latest org and it worked again. God, this was driving me crazy
last night!

Problem solved with Org mode version 9.5 (release_9.5-220-g343e22)
