Nathan,

Nick Dokos suggested the following fix to .emacs:

(if (< emacs-major-version 23)
    (defun characterp (obj)
      (and (char-or-string-p obj) (not (stringp obj)))))

Inserting this check makes org-export-generic work for me. My Emacs version on 
Windows is 22.3.1.

I don't know what could be the cause of error on your machine.
