I ended up not posting the link[1] I referred to in the first e-mail,
but since then I got back home and tested the functions provided there
seem to be doing what I expected. With it, I can force Emacs to download
a built-in package from ELPA and use it, instead of the built-in
version. I was afraid that I was only downloading it, but Emacs wasn't
actually loading it, but I couldn't test it because I have Emacs
28.0.91, which contains the latest versions of all the built-in packages
that are also in ELPA.

Given that, I have compiled Emacs 27 and ran it with the attached
init.el, and running M-x org-version tells me

Org mode version 9.5.2 (9.5.2-gfbff08 @ .../.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5.2/)

It seems that calling my (require-package 'pkg 'force) is getting the
latest ELPA version available for built-in packages and using that
programatically, without having to use the Package List interface.
