This is the same bug as Martyn Jago reported earlier, basically I
forgot that separate org agenda commands can be run individually
rather then through (org-agenda) function.

A temporary workaround in your specific case would be to wrap
(org-batch-agenda) call like this:

(catch 'exit
  (org-batch-agenda "OFFICE/NEXT"))

I tested it and it seems to work.. The actual fix for the bug will be
similar and will be wrapping bodies of (org-todo-list) (org-tags-list)
and friends with (catch 'exit), but it needs to be done conditionally
as to only do it its called individually and not from (org-agenda)
