Org-refile does not work

[agzam]

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Start Emacs
• Open .org document with multiple headings
• Try to refile a heading using org-refile

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
Seeing following in the messages buffer:

  Copied: Subtree(s) with 75 characters
  org-copy-subtree: Invalid function: org-preserve-local-variables

And nothing gets refiled.

Notes

This is likely an upstream issue, reporting it here so people can suggest workarounds. org-preserve-local-variables is a function in a org-plus-contrib

org-version reports:

Org mode version 9.2 (9.2-elpaplus @ /Users/agibragimov/.emacs.d/elpa/26.1/develop/org-plus-contrib-20181230/)

on my machine. Adding org-plus-contrib to dotspacemacs-excluded-packages did not fix it.
