Thanks, Eric. It helped to know that it works for someone.

Knowing that, I went into my .emacs file and did some testing.

It turns out that there is some conflict with pp-c-l. These lines:

   (use-package pp-c-l)
   (pretty-control-l-mode 1)

would mess up org-mode's use of org-ellipsis. I don't know why. But
commenting out those two lines solves the problem for me.
