A quick google search comes up this these:

Based on those solutions, may be you can add
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{200b}{}
I haven't tried it, so cannot guarantee if that will work.
I regularly generate pdfs and almost all of my org documents would be using
0x200b somewhere. If a pdf generates fine without any visible artifacts and
with all content as expected, I do not look into the tex compilation logs.
This time I checked the log and I don't get that error, but a warning
instead. Note that I also use XeTeX which has unicode support. Below is a
snippet from my log:
This is XeTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-0.99991 (TeX Live 2014) (preloaded
format=xelatex)
\write18 enabled.
