@chaley - as I wrote 'seems vaguely similar'. Had it been the same I would have retracted my suggestion to Alaa that he report his problem as bug, and given him a link to this thread.

my '#location/Location' column is a pre-existing a long text column, not that it's type should make any difference.

I just restored my Test library to Thursday evening my time. I created the 'Has Location' virtual library and the '#virtlib/Virtual Libraries' column and did a restart. Then I added the Virtual Libraries column to the Book List, via right click headers and Show Columns. The first item had the correct value in Virtual Libraries, but the rest (including those with nothing in Location) had a TEMPLATE ERROR ... message. Did a restart and everything was OK.

But as I mentioned, my tests are on my kitchen sink test library. I will redo on a fresh library when I'm less busy. I have a new screen recorder toy - I could try it out at the same time
