What happens if while visiting the buffer, you say
C-h v org-todo-line-regexp RET
Is the value reported nil?

That will require another backtrace but...

When you get to the point of feeling lost, it's time to take a step
back. Make yourself a minimal.emacs that contains just the basics to
get org-mode loaded - assuming you get your org sources from git, then
you need something like this (with pathnames changed appropriately):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp -*-
;;; constant part
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/emacs/org/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . org-mode))
(require 'org-install)
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Then start up an emacs without any of your customizations, load the
minimal.emacs
file and visit an org file and try what you tried before:
emacs -q -l /path/to/minimal.emacs /path/to/somefile.org
and try changing a TODO as before. Does that work? If not, try -Q
instead of -q: does *that* work?
Assuming one of these works, then you have localized the problem to
some customization (yours or the systems) and then there are various
ways to proceed.
