Did you C-c C-c after adding that line so that org setup is reset?  Is
there actually any HTML code in the exported file that has the
sequence

where XXX might be SPAN or DIV?  That is, is there any HTML code that
is actually using the string class?  Maybe try a very small example
and post the html file that results?
