Is it possible that a plugin is causing this error even when it is disabled (i.e. it’s still in the `app. yml` but not activated in site settings)? If so, everything seems to point to the abbreviations and acronyms plugin:

The author has not been seen since months and is not responding to various bug reports. Maybe the plugin should be tagged as broken?
