Thanks for the report, but I'm not able to reproduce this issue (testing with the latest Audacity 2.4.0 alpha source code). Please note that Export2: requires that "Filename" needs to be a fully qualified file name (including the full path and file extension). If you still have problems with this, please come and discus it with us on the Audacity forum and I think we should be able to get it working for you. https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewforum.php?f=69

Did you ever enable debug output? I sometimes found that the same function will continue to output debug info even when deselected
