An Emacs installation that includes package emacs-org exhibits a
well-documented bug: certain uses of org-babel, such as using the
R language, lead to the error message
Invalid function: org-babel-header-args-safe-fn
For a discussion of this bug in other contexts, see for example:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2016-02/msg00415.html
I do not claim to fully understand the cause of this bug, but the
explanations mention a conflict between the org-mode version shipped
with Emacs and the later one being installed afterwards. This conflict
happens when the newer org-mode is byte-compiled, and leads to wrong
.elc files.
It is easy to verify that the Guix version also suffers from this
byte-compilation problem. Removing the "build" step, and thus byte
compilaion, by adding
(arguments
`(#:phases
(modify-phases %standard-phases
(delete 'build))))
to the definition of emacs-org removes the error message.
What I do not understand yet is why this happens within Guix. The
explanations for the bug concentrate on the built-in org-mode version
having been initialized before byte compilation of the new one, and
recommend starting Emacs with the –quick option for the byte compilation
session. This is what Guix does as well, so the problem should not
exist.
I tried to remove the old org-mode from load-path during byte
compilation of the new version by manipulating EMACSLOADPATH, so far
without success. If Emacs' basic "lisp" dir is not on EMACSLOADPATH,
Emacs fails to do anything, but if it is, Emacs automatically adds
"lisp/org" via lisp/subdir.el.

Doesn't the official Emacs docs recommend against byte compiling? Why we
have such nasty thing here?
I also noticed some odd behavior with emacs-org coming from GNU Guix,
mainly causing the impossibility of exporting a simple document as this
to LaTeX or to PDF:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE: Test
* A test
Yes, a test.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I'll make another detailed bug report about this specific issue once I
have time to take more information.

I managed to do this in the end, and it does solve the problem. So it
seems that merely having the old version on load-path, without ever
loading it, is sufficient to break byte compilation of the new version.
I will try to prepare a patch for fixing this.
Konrad.

Does this still occur on latest master? If so, could you provide more
detailed reproduction steps? I'd be interested in fixing any remaining
problems.
Thanks,
Maxim

Hi Maxim,
> Does this still occur on latest master?
No, the bug disappeared with the update to Emacs 26.3, which comes with
org-mode 9. So this bug report can be closed (which I'd have done
already if I knew how to do it).
Cheers,
Konrad

Thank you for the reply!
You can close bugs by replying to the bug number email address
(e.g. 30961@debbugs.gnu.org for this one) with a "-done" appended to the
bug number, like this:
30961-done@debbugs.gnu.org
For more information regarding Debbugs commands, you may want to consult
info '(debbugs-ug)Mail Command Index' or the page
https://debbugs.gnu.org/server-refcard.html.
Closing,
