Well. It will import the files. However, org-bibtex-write will indeed
fail. If I got it wrong, please provide more details.

Confirmed

The fix is attached.

Best,

Subject: [PATCH] org-bibtex-read: Do not add nil when there is no entry at
 point

* lisp/ol-bibtex.el (org-bibtex-read): Previously, when there is no
entry at point, `nil' would be added to `org-bibtex-entries' causing
errors later, i.e. upon calling org-bibtex-write.  Now, nil is never
pushed to `org-bibtex-entries'.
