Then you already had org-compat loaded before package manager started to 
compile the new Org.

This may cause org-compat to be loaded as well.

Yes, that is expected when org-copmpat is already loaded: org-no-popups 
is a macro and macro definitions must be known at compile time.  Since 
the old org-compat without that definition was already loaded, the 
corresponding require did nothing, so the definition was missing and the 
byte-compiler was assuming a function that would need to be defined at 
runtime.

As I said, that is something that should really be fixed in package manager.
