I don't think it's a bug in org: if you start with a clean copy of the
repo (make clean; make) and have your load-path pointing there, you
should not see any problems.

IIUC, Michael Bach's problem (a fairly common one, btw) was that he was
mixing different installations: he was picking up a recent org-capture
that was using org-pop-to-buffer-same-window, but an older org-compat
that did not include the definition of that function.

You have to make sure that all of the pieces come from the same place,
but there is still a gotcha in the sense that an old .elc file will
be picked up by emacs in preference to a new .el file (possibly with
a warning, but who looks at warnings?)

Hence assuming you are using git to keep up to date:

	make clean
	make
	C-h v load-path RET
	[make sure that your load path points at your git directory *first*]
	M-x org-reload RET
	[or perhaps safer: restart emacs]

And use M-x locate-library to make sure that emacs agrees with you about
where things are picked up from.
