This seems to happen after some global search-and-replace operations.
I wanted to replace:
***** Note

:PROPERTIES:
:HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS: cmtry
:UNNUMBERED: notoc
:END:
with:
***** Comment
:CMT:
:PROPERTIES:
:HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS: cmtry
:UNNUMBERED: notoc
:END:
I copied and pasted each of the above into the M-% dialog.
NOTE: The text replacement seemed to go fine, as near as I can tell.
Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
