The compiled files *are* in your load-path, because Emacs loads them
when you launch it.  This is in /usr/.../emacs/lisp/loaddefs.el, which
contains pointers to the autoloaded functions.  Some Org's functions
are autoloaded by Emacs, and these are functions from an older version
than the one you installed manually.

You don't need to install this particular patch, you just need to
updated your Git installation.

~$ cd org-mode/  [change with the relevant path]
~$ git pull
~$ make

This pull latest master branch and compile Org.

Or you can do:

~$ cd org-mode/  [change with the relevant path]
~$ make update

Please follow the instructions above and report any problem you may
have afterwards.
