Hi Bastien,
I tried to reproduce using -q and had another error occurring in
customizing the agenda (hard to reproduce agenda problem with a blank list):
apropos-parse-pattern: Wrong type argument: stringp
occurs when using the search button. This is emacs org, from
GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.12) due to -q.
The below refers to git emacs, of course.

Hi Simon,
thanks for reporting those problems.

Update Org Contacts Database
Bad sexp at line 350 in /home/simon/org/privat.org:

Invalid face reference: nil [619 times]
1: Altough org-contacts is invoked, birthdays fail. I tried both sexp
syntaxes (%%() and <%%()>).
I'm cc'ing Grégory, maybe this is related to recent changes in
org-contact.el. Grégory, can you have a look ?
Don't look in the wrong end - I checked out an out org-contacts.el
(127bffa9e9cfe525fad0d8c) but the issue persisted. Also see below.
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.
Mhh... I can't reproduce this. Can you give a recipe? What emacs
version is it with?
I tried a lot of stuff and this is triggering it for me:
(setq org-highest-priority ?B)
(setq org-lowest-priority ?D)
(setq org-default-priority ?D)
However, this seems just a factor. Removing it works but is undesirable
for me, and re-adding it in an otherwise minimal config is fine too. I'm
dropping this for now, let's see how my windows box responds.
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.
I don't think it is the same issue. Here again, can you give a hint
on what your configuration and agenda file/command look like?
Well, even the default agenda was pretty lousy. But guess what? I
executed one of my not-so-daily review (block-) agendas, and whatever it
did, it fixed the issue. Could that be? I'm at a loss to explain things,
but the slowdown is gone now. Some cache/temp file issue?
Is there some kind of "make clean" for the operational org-mode?
What's even better, since that the org-contacts integration is working
fine again! Maybe that was the culprit, or my whole setup is somehow
botched.
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.
(setq org-agenda-inhibit-startup nil)
The new default is supposed to make the agenda generation faster,
actually. Tassilo reported it was not speeding up things and I need
to check this again.
Apparently, it did not slowdown mine but fixed the issue. Thanks!
So the nil face is the only issue left, and it depends a lot on config.
I will see if I can find out more.
Cheers,
Simon
