I just redid the exact same steps, but could not reproduce it. Not related to
Org, maybe?

Aie, it's reading symbols from another Emacs instance (24.2.90, the first in
PATH), not the one I'm really launching (24.2.91, from a Windows shortcut).

I really would like to have a solution for my PATH to reflect whichever
shortcut I clicked on. I'll need to write a small script, instead of making a
direct link to emacs.exe. Or would there be a more straitforward solution?
