Yeah, I don't see it either. If I read the backtrace correctly, that
code is called between package-install and package-compute-transaction
(which is strange because one function shoudl be called directly by
the other). So it would most likely be an advice on
compute-transaction. (but advices are complicated, so I wouldn't rule
that out)

You can fake a downgrade.
1. Rename one of the directories inside ".elpa" (like "org-2015nnnn"
to "org-1"),
2. change the version number inside the "org-1/org-pkg.el" file,
3. restart emacs (or maybe just M-x package-initialize).
