Hello Visuwesh (cc the Org list)!
I'm a newly appointed "Org contributor liaison", which basically means
I'm a newbie in training on the Org team, assigned to work on tidying up
the backlog of bug reports. That's why I'm replying to this very old
report of yours (thanks for reporting it, apologies that you - as far as
I can tell - haven't had any response to it until now).
Seeing as how I'm new both to working with the Org team and Elisp in
general, I can't really contribute much on the matter itself, other than
to say that I didn't get an error when I tried to use a function as the
second entry. But I don't know enough about Org or Elisp to confirm that
the problem you're describing has been fixed either.
So, I turn to the other members of the list and ask - can someone who
knows more than me investigate this?
And, a keyword for our bug tracker:
Owned.
