wrong type argument listp... org-element-set-contents

I'm getting a strange error whenever I try to export an org file,
and I'm not sure how to track down the cause. It seemed to start when I
upgraded to org 8.3.1, but it's hard to tell because this is the first
time I've exported anything in a week or so.

The error says:
(wrong-type-argument listp #("Test document" 0 13 (:parent (#1))))
  org-element-set-contents(#("Test document" 0 13 (:parent (#0))))

I was able to figure out that the error only occurs when I have an org file
with document data, e.g. a line like:

#+TITLE: Test document

When I remove that line as well as #+AUTHOR etc, then it exports fine. With
that line it, it won't export to HTML, LaTeX, or text.

Any suggestions on how to figure out what part of my configuration is
causing the problem? Here's the complete Backtrace:

Thanks!

Is this the same issue as here?

Things may have gone wrong when compiling during the update, so it is
worth trying to uninstall and reinstall.

I cannot reproduce the problem. Could you provide a backtrace using an
uncompiled Org? (i.e., using `org-reload' with an argument).

Sure, I'll try that. I'm not quite sure how to figure out what
argument org-export-dispatch takes. Something like this? (org-reload
(org-export-dispatch 'html))

I meant C-u M-x org-reload. Then regular export (e.g., C-c C-e l L).

Yes! That worked. What does this mean?

I tried going to package-list-packages and uninstalling and reinstalling
org, but that didn't help. What's my next step?

Nicolas might have a better suggestion of what to do next, but I think
it means the state of your Emacs session was interfering with the
correct compilation.  Since 'C-u M-x org-reload' forced an uncompiled
reload, you could try uninstalling/installing the package again.  Or you
try Ista's snippet[1] for installing in a fresh session:

    Since it doesn't work for you I suggest removing org-plus-contrib
    (or org), starting emacs with 'emacs -Q' and running something like

    (require 'package)
    (add-to-list 'package-archives
                 '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
    (package-initialize)
    (package-install 'org-plus-contrib)
    ;; or (package-install 'org)

Great.  Just for future reference, these were the steps that worked?

- C-u M-x org-reload
- Uninstall and then reinstall from package-list-packages menu.

Yes. In my case, I installed org-plus-contrib.
