org-agenda t giving "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

org-agenda t giving "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

I updated things from source today and got an error when trying to view my 
agenda:

    M-x org-agenda
    t

showed the error

    Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

In *Messages* I saw:

    Press key for agenda command (unrestricted):
    org-agenda-get-todos: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I ran git bisect and narrowed it down to this (all else about my config 
remaining the same):

37d6bde27fe228cdadcb5cdaa09287872a508777 is the first bad commit
commit 37d6bde27fe228cdadcb5cdaa09287872a508777

     org-element-parse-secondary-string: Prevent altering current buffer cache

I can't tell what's going on, but I hope this helps identify something.

Thanks for reporting!
I am unable to reproduce the problem on my side, unfortunately.
May you enable `debug-on-error' and post the backtrace? Or provide a
reproducer.

Whatever my problem was, it has now gone away.  I updated the source tree and 
all was fine.  Whew!
