problem with bibtex-parse-buffers-stealthily

Hello,

I'm having `bibtex-parse-buffers-stealthily' fail when there is an
org-mode buffer with a bibtex source block. For instance, if you have
the following block in an org file

#+begin_src bibtex
@article{FernandezGabbay2007,
  number = {6},
  volume = {205},
  pages = {917--965},
  year = {2007},
  journaltitle = {Information \& Computation},
  title = {Nominal rewriting},
  author = {Fernández, Maribel and Gabbay, Murdoch J.},
}
#+end_src

then when the bibtex-parse-buffers-stealthily runs, there is this error:

Error running timer ‘bibtex-parse-buffers-stealthily’:
(wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)

I tried to debug it, and the problems is that in the list of buffers,
there is one buffer

#<buffer  *org-src-fontification:bibtex-mode*>

that is in bibtex mode but for which `bibtex-parse-keys' fail. I assume
it is because the source block is not a well formed bibtex file.

Should this be considered an emacs bug or an org-mode bug? I'm using
emacs 25.2.1 and current org-mode-with-contrib.

Thanks,

Alan

I also get this and, although it doesn't really affect things, it is
annoying.  Did you get anywhere with this report and/or find a solution?

Chiming in to say I'm having the same issue, except I have no bibtex
source blocks.  The same bibtex-parse-buffers-stealthily timer is giving
the error, but I don't even have any bibtex-related packages loaded.  It
happens about 10 seconds after I change window focus to a non-Emacs
window, every time I do so.  Thankfully I discovered helm-timers, which
makes it easy to kill any timers that are running, so I only have to do
this once per Emacs session.  But I haven't been able to figure out why
that timer is even running.
