Probably, this is somehow the case... I think the directory structure that you 
can see is the default one of ELPA - I don't think I tweaked it.

The file "~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20130930/org.el" contains the

Indeed, loading it manually, solved the problem.

I didn't know how to recompile the files, and what exactly do you mean by 
cleaning the .elc's; so I did something else. I removed the old directories of 
org-mode from the ELPA directory, restarted emacs and it  now seems to work 
fine.
