1. emacs -Q
2. Evaluate in *scratch* buffer:

(custom-set-variables
 '(org-agenda-files "~/some-nonexistent-file"))

3. Open up any Org file: C-x f ~/tmp.org

4. Error appears in minibuffer: File mode specification error:
(file-error Opening input file No such file or directory
/home/bob/some-nonexistent-file)

5. Type

* asdf

6. Type M-RET, get error org-heading-components: Wrong type argument:
stringp, nil  This is because org.el was loaded partially (I think).

Other symptoms of partial loading: #+STARTUP does not have a face,
some other commands (but not all) result in errors
