What if you check with a clean emacs -Q ?  Does the error disappear?

I guess the problem comes from one of the function in `find-file-hook'.
Can you see anything suspicious here?

Is the error still here without desktop?

You export with C-c C-e h, right?  Or via org-publish.el?

I suspect something weirdness with related to your `desktop' or
`session' customization, or maybe some function in find-file-hook.

Can you try to narrow this problem with that directions?
