i have a problem similar to this from a few months ago. in this case,
it seems to be when trying to pass a column with a quoted-string inside
of it. (this is on the "bugfix" branch.) my e-lisp code seems to get

sigh.
the following is pretty much a lie. apologies.

the creating a temp buffer, visiting the file, are *not* provided by
=org-babel-ref-resolve=.

fwiw, tracing, the problem appears to be this line
((eq (string-to-char cell) ?\") (read cell))

presumably there are many cases where this is the right thing to do.
but, maybe look for a simple =^"[^"]*"$= (i.e., a quotation mark, some
