[BUG?] Wrong quote positions in exported CSL bib items when export is done with C-u C-e

[BUG?] Wrong quote positions in exported CSL bib items when export is done with C-u C-e

[András Simonyi]

Dear All,

I'm experiencing the following mysterious problem with the csl
citation export processor: exporting using the export dispatcher
without a prefix argument works fine, but when I repeat the export
action using C-u before C-e the exported bibliography items containing
quotes have the quotes shifted to incorrect places, seemingly with a
fix offset.

Minimal example:

Org document:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+cite_export: csl
#+bibliography: bib.bib
[cite:@Hobbs-1985-Ontological]
#+print_bibliography:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

bib.bib:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@inproceedings{Hobbs-1985-Ontological,
  title                    = {Ontological Promiscuity},
  author                   = {Hobbs, Jerry R.},
  booktitle                = {Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Meeting
of the Association for Computational Linguistics},
  year                     = {1985},
  location                 = {Chicago},
  organization             = {Association for Computational Linguistics},
  pages                    = {61--69}
}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The single bibliography item is the correct

  Hobbs, Jerry R. 1985. “Ontological Promiscuity.” In /Proceedings of
  the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational
  Linguistics/, 61–69. Chicago: Association for Computational
  Linguistics.

when exported with C-e and as an UTF-8 buffer

but contains an incorrectly places quote:

  Hobbs, Jerry R. 1985. “Ontological Promiscuity. In” /Proceedings of
  the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational
  Linguistics/, 61–69. Chicago: Association for Computational
  Linguistics.

when exported (again) with C-u C-e.

Emacs version: 28.1
Org version:  9.5.4
(Citeproc version is Melpa 20220702.2132)

is anybody else seeing this behaviour?

thanks & best wishes,

András

Confirmed.
I managed to trace this down to the output value of
org-cite-csl--rendered-bibliographies (using M-x trace-function + M-x diff-buffers).

I suspect that it might be something to do with destructive list
modifications in some kind of cache.
