Hi, I encountered this problem when trying out org-sync with
Redmine. That package uses org-element to create "fixed-width" type
elements to contain the bug descriptions. When a bug had no description,
this problem would occur. In that case, org-element-property returns the
empty string for the ":value" property of the fixed-width element, and
the call to "substring" fails.

I also encountered the problem with org version [7.9.2
(release_7.9.2-1-ge003bd @
/home/david/git/home-common/emacs/foreign/org-mode/lisp/)]

As far as I can see, org-element.el head still has the problem. Here's
a patch for the issue.
