That's the org-mode bundled with my emacs:
Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-1 @ /usr/share/emacs/24.4.50/lisp/org/)
GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.12.2) of 2014-08-23 on 
gkar, modified by Debian

it seems that emacs -Q is enough to get org-mode working since opening
an org file does trigger the error below :-)

ok

See above, that's org currently bundled with emacs. I could be coerced
to try trunk if it has a chance to solve the problem and the test is
of some use to you, but then i have some docs to read first :-)
