Bad news :(  I do not have a reproducible set of steps, but I'll start looking for one. I am not using the fix you sent and am using the latest master of Emacs 30.0.50 and Org 9.7.10

My init is a set of Org Babel scripts (4.5K org lines; 2.8K el lines) which is the latest incarnation of 30+ years of Emacs. Since this problem started, I start Emacs by first removing the org-persist files and the .el files, so that all the babel code is tangled. After a bunch of debugging and edits to the org files, I saved and went to start Emacs again with a clean slate.

Unfortunately, the `index.eld' file had the following (note the "..." in the file contents):

    ((:container ((elisp org-element--headline-cache) (elisp org-element--cache) (version "2.3")) :persist-file "ad/c72d74-f821-4190-97c8-41feb7dc8128" :associated (:hash "a82d8fdcbf03df59c72ca1df20680b3a" :file "/home/michael/Projects/my-config/emacs/my-config.org" :inode 2975404) :expiry 30 :last-access 1724901536.6903014 ...)

(:container ((elisp org-element--headline-cache) (elisp org-element--cache) (version "2.3")) :persist-file "00/1fd972-5079-4495-ab04-88db0f0a0e6c" :associated (:hash "feb07f13f10cab551dc03089e1919594" :file "/home/michael/Projects/my-config/emacs/my-eshell.org" :inode 2979957) :expiry 30 :last-access 1724805634.696495 ...)

(:container ((index "3.2")) :persist-file "63/45cf0a-1428-489e-b247-a4e501140c2c" :associated nil :expiry never :last-access 1724908792.4755692 ...))

So it was the process of editing the SRC blocks and executing the elisp code to test that resulted in the bad persist file. I'm thinking I may add some code to see if the elisp variable is corrupt or it's just happening on output. My sense is this may be a core bug but I'll see what I can find.
