Re: [O] Bug: org-agenda-list fails with "wrong-type-argument stringp nil" from org-agenda-skip [8.3.5 (8.3.5-elpaplus @ $HOME/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20160801/)]

FWIW I do not see this issue on the latest version of org on the master (dev) branch. 

Based on the backtrace, it looks like for some reason comment-start-skip is nil in your emacs session.

Here's the definition of org-agenda-skip:

(defun org-agenda-skip ()

  "Throw to `:skip' in places that should be skipped.

Also moves point to the end of the skipped region, so that search can

continue from there."

  (let ((p (point-at-bol)) to)

    (when (or

  (save-excursion (goto-char p) (looking-at comment-start-skip))

  (and org-agenda-skip-archived-trees (not org-agenda-archives-mode)

(get-text-property p :org-archived)

(org-end-of-subtree t))

  (and org-agenda-skip-comment-trees

(get-text-property p :org-comment)

(org-end-of-subtree t))

  (and (setq to (or (org-agenda-skip-eval org-agenda-skip-function-global)

    (org-agenda-skip-eval org-agenda-skip-function)))

(goto-char to))

  (org-in-src-block-p t))

      (throw :skip t))))

Can you recreate this error in an emacs -Q session with only that org version loaded?
