When I attempt to run M-x org-bibtex on a .org file with non-standard bibtex types that have a tag, they fail to export if org-bibtex-tags-are-keywords is set to t. This persists even if I add the bibtex type to org-bibtex-types. I checked, and this problem persists with a minimal init file, and a minimal org file. I have also checked, and I get the same problem with Emacs 24.3.5 from emacsforosx. I just started using org-bibtex so I do not know how far the bug goes back.
Here is a minimal example that gets the bug.
I press ``M-x org-bibtex'' it returns ``Bibtex error on "Critique of Practical Reason"". This error does not occur if I change ``BTYPE" to ``book'' or if I remove the tag ``:ex:'' from the headline. As I noted above, I added ``bookinbook'' to the org-bibtex-types and added the appropriate fields there and in org-bibtex-fields.

It may also be useful to note that if I set ``org-bibtex-prefix'' to "bib" and set ``org-bibtex-export-arbitrary-fields'' to t (and of course edit the property names in my .org file appropriately), I get an error even with standard bib types.
Below is the bug report.

what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
