I don't know. I believe, in this case, it was something in org-compat.el
for setting up version compatability that didn't work well when
compiled. The old .elc (in the pre-installed Emacs) was overriding the
current .el (in the ELPA package) and the change in org-compat for
(IIRC) Org 9.3 was enough that new code dependent on the new org-compat
broke (org-compat is supposed to handle that). I thought later versions
of Org fixed this problem.
