[BUG] Exporting to text fails when there are broken links |

Org mode version 9.6.15
* CURRENT BEHAVIOR
Exporting to text fails when ~org-export-with-broken-links~ is set to ~mark~.
[[help:org-export-with-broken-links]]
The following are minimal examples using source blocks in org. I'm using an
LLM-generated function to call ~org-export-string-as~, but there might be an
easier option with arguments and blocks. You can also replicate by calling
~org-export-dispatch~ -> Export to plain text -> As ASCII buffer (or Latin1 or
UTF-8).
#+begin_src elisp
(defun org-src-to-text (block-name)
"Convert the content of a named Org source block to text."
(org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'src-block
(lambda (src)
(when (string= block-name (org-element-property :name src))
(let ((src-block (org-element-property :value src)))
(princ (org-export-string-as src-block 'ascii t)))))))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: org-src-to-text
** broken-links:nil
#+NAME: source-broken-links-nil
#+begin_src org
,#+OPTIONS: broken-links:nil
,* Some title
1. This [[file:existing-file.org][link1]] is exported correctly to text.
2. This [[file:{filename}existing-file.org][link2]] is exported correctly
to text.
3. This [[file:{filename}test-nonexistent-file.org][link3]] is exported
correctly to text.
4. This [[file:test-nonexistent-file.org][link4]] is exported correctly to
text.
5. This [[{filename}test-nonexistent-file.org][link5]] is NOT exported
correctly to text.
#+end_src
#+begin_src elisp :results output
(org-src-to-text "source-broken-links-nil")
#+end_src
This fails with =org-export-data: Unable to resolve link:
"{filename}test-nonexistent-file.org"=

#+NAME: source-broken-links-t
#+begin_src org
,#+OPTIONS: broken-links:t
,* Some title
1. This [[file:existing-file.org][link1]] is exported correctly to text.
2. This [[file:{filename}existing-file.org][link2]] is exported correctly to
text.
3. This [[file:{filename}test-nonexistent-file.org][link3]] is exported
correctly to text.
4. This [[file:test-nonexistent-file.org][link4]] is exported correctly to

1. This [link1] is exported correctly to text.
2. This [link2] is exported correctly to text.
3. This [link3] is exported correctly to text.
4. This [link4] is exported correctly to text.
5. This is NOT exported correctly to text.

#+end_src
#+begin_src elisp :results output
(org-src-to-text "source-broken-links-mark")
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
: [BROKEN LINK: {filename}test-nonexistent-file.org]
NOTE THAT ONLY THE BROKEN LINK IS SHOWN HERE! BUT NOT THE REST OF THE TEXT.
* EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
As with other backends (like ~html~), I'd expect the correctly exported text,
not only the broken link.

1. This [link1] is exported correctly to text.
2. This [link2] is exported correctly to text.
3. This [link3] is exported correctly to text.
4. This [link4] is exported correctly to text.
5. This [BROKEN LINK: {filename}test-nonexistent-file.org]is NOT exported
correctly to text.
[link1] <file:existing-file.org>
[link2] <file:{filename}existing-file.org>
