After updating to emacs version 30.1 from version 29.4.4, I experience issues
with =org-element-with-disabled-cache=. Specifically, creating an =org-roam=
node with a template that sets a =#+category= yields the error
=invalid-function org-element-with-disabled-cache=. Here is a MWE you save to
=mwe.el= and run with =emacs -q -l mwe.el=:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; Workaround after removing natively compiled org-element file ;;
; (setq native-comp-jit-compilation-deny-list '(".*org-element.*"))
;; download org-roam ;;
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/";) t)
(package-initialize)
(package-refresh-contents)
(package-install 'org-roam)
;; Define a capture-template containing a #+category ;;
(setq org-roam-capture-templates '(("e" "Example Template" plain "%?"
:if-new (file+head "${title} (vom
%<%d.%m.%Y>).org"
"#+title:
${title}\n#+category: Example Category\n")
:unnarrowed t)))
#+END_SRC
Just call =org-roam-node-find= interactively, type in a node name and press
=RET= to provoke the error; I reproduced it on two different machines. Here is
the output of =toggle-debug-on-error=:

It is clear that the problem stems from =org-element--get-category= and not
from an =org-roam= function. What I found in a
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1hayavx/comment/mg4ioph/?context=3][Reddit
Post]] is that the problem stems from natively compiling the library
=org-element=. The current workaround is this:
1. Prevent =org-element= from being natively compiled again by adding the line
=(setq native-comp-jit-compilation-deny-list '(".*org-element.*"))= to the very
top of your init file.
2. For every directory specified in =native-comp-eln-load-path= (=C-h v= on
that to see what it contains), delete any previously natively compiled file for
=org-element= by doing the following:
1. =cd= into the directory then =ls */org-element-*.eln=
2. If you see a file =org-element-<hash>.eln=, delete it. (The file
=org-element-ast-<hash>.eln= does not seem to cause any problems.)
3. Restart emacs and emacsclient.
In addition to the =#+category= problem, a
[[https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1hayavx/comment/mg4ioph/?context=3][Reddit
user]] reports that clocking in/out, using the agenda or changing TODO states
results in the same error. I could not reproduce this, though.
I am aware this is just a minor bug, but I found it worthy of being reported.
Maybe someone familiar with native compilation would be willing to look into
this?
