Yes, that problem is apparently someplace else.  I'll let Jambunathan have a go
first.

If the problem is where I think it is, then a (require 'org-compat) should be a
valid workaround until the final fix is in Org.

The combination of the version of Org in your version of Emacs and a more recent
Org can't be expected to work correctly in all cases unless you add one of the
requires I've shown.
