Thanks for the report. As suggested in Dante's reply, the blank line following #+name is invalid syntax. https://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html#Affiliated_keywords On maint (3bb073b63), the type error is now avoided for invalid name keywords. No attempt is made to match these keywords, though, so your example won't lead to a match aside from through a fuzzy text search when org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline is nil.
