Maybe the builtin Org is being loaded before your elpa version.  (In the
backtrace you posted from your startup, I see a find-file call with an
Org file.)  What does org-version say?

Yes, I agree that it is better to install in a clean session without Org
loaded.  The idea behind the other recipe is that, if an Org install
with compilation issues is already loaded, it loads the uncompiled files
from the new Org version.

This seems to help in my tests.

1. emacs -Q --eval '(setq user-emacs-directory "/tmp/emacsd/")' -l /tmp/scratch.el

   ,---- /tmp/scratch.el
   | (require 'package)
   | (add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
   | (package-initialize)
   `----

2. Load the builtin Org.

3. Go to list-packages and install 'org-20150810'.  This results in many
   compilation issues (see end of message).

4. C-u M-x org-reload

5. Uninstall and then reinstall with package-list-packages.  This gets
   rid of all compilation issues except

in addition to the org-gnus-related message above.

If I run the same test as above but don't trigger an Org load before
installing 'org-20150810' (i.e., #1 and then #3), there are no
compilation issues.
