Thanks for reporting! The reproducer is not sufficient to replicate the
bug on my side, but the code can indeed fail with the error you are
seeing.

I applied an alternative patch onto bugfix:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=bd3705c05

Let me know if the patch fixes the problem for you.
