From Vim I am used to typing arbitrary long stuff after pressing leader.

E.g. <leader>ba to close the current buffer or <leader>b " to switch to another buffer.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Key sequence b SPC starts with non-prefix key b")Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Key sequence b SPC starts with non-prefix key b")

Now I’m highly confused:

(evil-leader/set-key
  "ci" 'evilnc-comment-or-uncomment-lines
  "cl" 'evilnc-comment-or-uncomment-to-the-line
  "cc" 'evilnc-copy-and-comment-lines
  "cp" 'evilnc-comment-or-uncomment-paragraphs
  "cr" 'comment-or-uncomment-region)

works. oO

Reoccuring Problem, see #6 .

Can it be that you used something like this?

"b" 'some-command
"ba" 'kill-this-buffer

With regards to the poster's comment that c<key> works, couldn't it have to do with c being naturally a vim prefix key outside leader? Just wondering, because I'm trying to bind <leader>d and it doesn't work, my set-leader doesn't have any other <leader>d<key> binds, yet when I press <leader>d, instead of executing the action, it expects a third key as if it were a prefix key. If I change it my action to be bound to e.g. <leader>a, it works. So I thought maybe it was some bug around the fact that d is a prefix key outside leader.

I don't think you are on the right track there. d isn't a prefix key as far as emacs is concerned (quick check: C-h k d describes the key and does not expect other keys). Anyway, <leader> is a prefix key on its own meaning that it introduces its own subkeymap so evil's d will never be looked up. If <leader>d awaits another key you (as in "your config") most probably introduced <leader>d as a prefix on its own, do <leader>d C-h to see the "sub" keys.

I'm closing it now, but don't hesitate do reopen if the problems persist and the mentioned checks don't reveal an configuration error.

Thanks for the tip, I see now that a plugin was sneakily mapping ,d (https://github.com/redguardtoo/evil-matchit)
