[O] Bug? Agenda problems after update

[Simon Thum]

Hi all,

I've updated to recent master to fix a problem the new exporter fixes in 
master. I didn't update for a few months, so it's not easy to tell when 
things broke. I already looked for solutions, but could not find any for 
the below. Please help me track these down.

I observe four problems I don't think I had before. Two can be seen in 
the messages from an agenda run:


Press key for agenda command (unrestricted):
Update Org Contacts Database
Bad sexp at line 350 in /home/simon/org/privat.org: 
(org-contacts-anniversaries "BIRTHDAY" "%y. Geburtstag %l") [7 times]
Invalid face reference: nil [619 times]


1: Altough org-contacts is invoked, birthdays fail. I tried both sexp 
syntaxes (%%() and <%%()>).

2: Hovering the mouse over the agenda produces these nil face warnings. 
I have no idea how to diagnose this, but it does not hurt much it seems. 
On every mouse motion event that hovers over agenda lines below today 
(except for the first line below today's date line, misteriously, and 
only if a certain line with a past-due deadline with [#C] priority 
cookie is visible), one such warning is produced.


3: The agenda dropped back to 10 sec and more. I used to have agenda 
generation times of 2-3 sec after I switched to SSDs. I hope this is the 
issue from the "org-agenda-write taking very long" thread currently 
going on.

4: When jumping to a file from the agenda, it is completely visible, 
including ARCHIVE tags (which otherwise work as expected). Just opening 
them is fine; it only affects the case the agenda file was not loaded 
before. Thus it seems to be a bug.


Thanks in advance,

Simon
