The above first coerces "string" to IndexCard and then tries to use
it. From documentation of IndexCard:
coerce : String -> %
++ coerce(s) converts \spad{s} into an \spad{IndexCard}. Warning: if
++ \spad{s} is not of the right format then an error will occur when using
++ it.
AFAICS "the right format" means internal format of documentation
strings. "string" certainly is not of this format.

The following works for me:
os := getDatabase("o")
str := os.(name="string")
elt(str, doc)
