Orgmode git tree used to have a .dir-locals.el that was "symlinked" to
.dir-settings.el[1]. I was facing similar errors and was likewise
confused. So check for symlinks and replace the linked files with
actual physical copies. The problem would go away.
Footnotes:
[1] I don't find reference to .dir-settings.el in my Emacs info. It is
possible that .dir-locals.el used to be known as .dir-settings.el.
