unpackaged/org-export-get-reference: Cache of previous export causes error

[notevenaperson]

Hello, your patch export with useful anchors is just what I was looking for, and worked like I was expecting when I pasted it in, but the second time I ran it I got an error. And the third time, and the fourth time. Only deleting the cache under ~/.org-timestamps/ makes it work again, but that second time after, it stops working too. It seems that a bad cache is generated that dooms the next export to fail. Can you reproduce?

It seems that org-export-format-reference reads the "useful slug" in the cache from the previous export, while it expects the normal return value of org-export-new-reference. But I don't understand that part of the code very well, could you help me out?

Hello,

This is the first I've heard of ~/.org-timestamps/. I don't know what's going on here; probably some change in org-export in a newer version than what I have installed.

But I don't understand that part of the code very well, could you help me out?

I don't understand it very well, either; I managed to hack something together when I was working on it, but that part of the org-export library is not easy to follow.

ISTR that more recent Org versions might solve this problem in a better way, but I'm not sure. You might want to look into that first.
