The function `bibtex-parse-entry' is using a regular expression called `bibtex-entry-maybe-empty-head' to retrieve information from the point location about the entry to parse. The "looking-at(nil)" part of your error means this variable is not set when `bibtex-parse-entry' -- while looking at the docstring of `bibtex-entry-maybe-empty-head' I found `bibtex-set-dialect'... which leaves us with the problem of correctly setting the dialect for the buffer. I don't know where to go from there, but you surely can dig further, or someone else can help. Best, -- Bastien
