This problem seems to occur whenever org is installed in two versions.
For me this is the version built into Emacs, and org-plus-contrib from
orgmode.org/elpa/.  This also causes a problem when starting without an
elpa directory in ~/.emacs.d/ about org-define-error (I may be wrong,
this is from memory).

My current workaround is to remove all compiled elisp files from the org
mode installation, for instance with the following command:

rm -f ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20180205/*.elc

Is there a better way?  Its been this way for me for some time now and
it really is annoying.
