Thanks for reporting back!

Note that apart from the problem on Emacs side, there appears to be a
problem with org-cite-basic-export-bibliography.

org-cite-basic-export-bibliography uses org-cite-basic--print-entry,
which fails to print keys, which are not in .bib files. As a result,
#+print_bibliography: appears to fail all the time when the document
contains invalid cite keys.

I consider this as a bug. At least org-cite-basic-export-bibliography
could provide a more useful error message. Or maybe even skip the
invalid keys. Or, similar to LaTeX, print ???. I am not sure which way
will be more canonical according to general oc.el design.

Best,
Ihor
