Probably the creamy sauce or mayonnaise used to dress potato salad is the culprit if people feel unwell or suffer from digestive problems after eating the salad.
It is very important that any dish such as pasta salad, rice salad and potato salad which is served cold in a creamy sauce should be refrigerated until the moment it's served, and then served quickly and not left out in a warm environment. This is asking for food poisoning. Pregnant women are particularly at risk with this type of food, as with pates and soft cheeses.
As a rule of thumb, keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot, refrigerate both as soon as serving is finished and discard if not used within a day.

Sugar is a preservative. The acid in the lemon is a preservative. Both of those should prevent the growth of bacteria. It is not like potato salad. Potato salad contains mayonnaise. Nothing in the either the potatoes nor the mayonnaise has anything to prevent bacterial growth after the potatoes have been cooked and the mayonnaise removed from the refrigerator. People go to church picnics. The salad sits in the hot car while they are in church. It sits on the table while everything is prepared. Meanwhile botulism bacteria grows and puts out poison.

If you are going to leave stuff out all night it is best to leave stuff out when it is cold and to leave out high acid foods with lots of sugar.
