What is org-contacts.el?  I don't see it in Emacs.

From the messages you show, it sounds like org-contacts.el has
problems that are flagged by the native compilation, in particular it
needs to (require 'cl) (for lexical-let*) and probably other packages
to resolve the other "not known to be defined" problems.

You need to be aware that JIT native compilation happens in a separate
pristine Emacs process, which doesn't know about any packages you have
loaded in the process that requests the compilation.  So native
compilation flags any problems caused by compiling a file in "emacs -Q".
