org-set-property giving error (8.2.10)

Greetings,

When trying to insert a property using org-set-property on one of my large
org-mode files, I get the message:

org-read-property-name: Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil

However, when I start a brand new org-mode file, it works. I assume that
this is breaking because I have some incorrect syntax somewhere. Is there a
way to find out where this is?

Thanks,
-Stephen

org-lint maybe - but afaik it's still on a branch "wip-lint", so you'll
have to play git games to be able to access it. And you need a fairly
modern emacs (24.3 perhaps?) for the lexical binding stuff.

See the original announcement and the resulting thread starting at
