this is a pretty old report, but I would like to bring it back to life, since I'm experiencing the same issue and I did some investigation. I've found that in ox.el org-export--get-inbuffer-options function calls org-element-map ... 'plain-text with a function that tries to use org-element-set-element. But according to org-element.el, plaint-text elements don't have a content and couldn't be set! So I believe this code is buggy anyway. It's possible that this bug is not triggered in some (most) configurations, because the code is not executed, but this doesn't make this code correct anyway. Unfortunately I'm not an expert in org-mode internals and don't have any idea how to fix that. Looking forward for your help here. Regards, Ilya.
