Confirmed. The problem is rather fundamental one. Citation processing is supposed to be independent from the export backends. However, `orgtbl-to-generic' is bypassing the citation processing and calls `org-export-data-with-backend` directly with ox-org backend not handling citation objects. There are multiple issues revealed here: 1. ox.el currently treats missing transcoder info as "export all the unknown elements/objects and empty strings" - this is rather forward-incompatible design that may catch users by surprise when Org adds new syntax elements (as it happened here, with citations) May ox.el treat missing transcoders as `identity' and only export empty string when transcoder is set to nil explicitly? 2. Does it even make sense to apply the default oc-basic when exporting to org? Should we instead introduce something like oc-identity that does nothing and simply leaves the citations in the original Org syntax, later possibly processed by the specific export backend? Then, we can use this oc-identity in the default value of `org-cite-export-processors': (org identity)? -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
