I believe this because an odd number of arguments to setq now signals an
error:

    https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-11/msg02028.html

>From Emacs 25 NEWS:

    ** `setq' must now be called with an even number of arguments.  The
    earlier behavior of silently supplying a nil to the last variable when
    there was an odd number of arguments has been eliminated.

The binding

  (letrec ((ignore)

results in letrec passing an odd number of arguments to setq:

  `(let ,(mapcar #'car binders)
     ,@(mapcar (lambda (binder) `(setq ,@binder)) binders)
     ,@body))
     
Changing (ignore) to (ignore nil) should fix it.  There are several
other places in ox.el that have the same problem.  However, I don't know
if letrec should handle this instead.  Nicolas?
