I don't know anything about straight, but this sounds like what you'd
get if you try to generate org-version.el in an Org repo without tags.

  $ git clone --depth 1 file://$ORGREPO .
  $ git tag
  $ make autoloads
  [...]
  fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything.
  [...]
  $ head lisp/org-version.el
  ;;; org-version.el --- autogenerated file, do not edit
  ;;
  ;;; Code:
  ;;;###autoload
  (defun org-release ()
    "The release version of Org.
  Inserted by installing Org mode or when a release is made."
     (let ((org-release ""))
       org-release))
  ;;;###autoload

Does the packaging depend on ELPA in any way?  If so, perhaps it's
related to this recent issue:
