Thanks!

Okay.  I can see that the new approach is more consistent and that is
always a good thing in my books.  I guess I was just perturbed at the
change in behaviour, and mostly because the error message made no sense
to me as the not-to-be-exported sections were all hidden in my view!

It's a problem only because of the way I use the :noexport: and COMMENT
tags to exclude parts of a document that are often incomplete or
partially defined.  However, I do realise I am being inconsistent as I
use :noexport: tags to hide babel code that is referenced in the rest of
my documents often.

There probably is really no problem at all; I just simply need to adjust
to a more logical approach to incomplete sections, e.g. commenting out
=#+= directives I do not want processed.  This would include =INCLUDE=
and =BEGIN_SRC=.  Not a big deal.

So, I don't think there is anything to be done.  Thanks for listening
and sorry for the noise!
