Even though it may have no bearing in this case: AFAICS it uses a macro from
org-compat directly, so it shouldn't rely on other files to pull in that
definition, it should require it directly.

Unless I'm missing something, this is only possible if it gets loaded before the
load-path to the new Org is set up.  If so, a (require 'org-compat) would not
correct the situation, while a (load-library "org-compat") would.  I would like
to see the value of load-history on the OP's box after an

emacs -Q -L /path/to/org

if possible.
