The answer

There is no harm in sitting in a mosque where there is innovation (bid'ah); due to the Almighty's saying: "And no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another." And Ibn Umar's departure from the mosque when he heard an innovation does not indicate the prohibition of remaining or the obligation to leave, but rather its permissibility. Scholars have mentioned the permissibility of leaving the mosque after the for an excuse, and such an instance indicates the permissibility of leaving, not its obligation.
