Sorry, I managed to confuse myself before.  Emacs-25 has Org 8.2.10, but
this bug only lives in the core version.

Isn’t a better fix to change the signature of the alias to mirror that of
font-lock-ensure?  I.e.

    (defalias 'org-font-lock-ensure
      (if (fboundp 'org-font-lock-ensure)
          #'font-lock-ensure
        (lambda (&optional _beg _end) (font-lock-fontify-buffer))))

Since (org-font-lock-ensure) is called from many places.

Note, this change only lives it the Emacs version of Org.  It was added in
this commit:

I’ll check on font-lock-ensure business and whether we can use that in
Org-9.

Thanks,
Rasmus
