Citation bug: cite/a does not work with basic

I'm finally starting to investigate citations (what an astounding amount of work 
went into it all!) and ran across what seems to be a small bug.

Test.bib file:

   @article{test2023,
     title = {Title Here},
     author = {Denton, William},
     date = {2023-11-23},
     journaltitle = {Journal Title},
     volume = {2},
     number = {3},
     issue = {5}
   }

Make an Org file with three lines, using cite/a to get the author citation:

┌
│ #+bibliography: Test.bib
│ #+cite_export: basic author author-year
│ [cite/a:@test2023]
└

Try to export it to LaTeX with "C-c C-e l l" and we get this error:

    Wrong type argument: characterp, raw

However, change it to cite/n: or cite/t: or just plain cite: and it will work. 
I think it should work with cite/a, but I'm not sure what's going on.


Thanks,

Bill
