I use 23.2.1 (http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/emacs).  Adding
(require 'el) works.

I tried on another box with the same Emacs (23.2.1 -
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/emacs) and Org, roughly the same
configuration, and I can't reproduce the problem, so it's a bit of a
mystery for me.

Thanks for your answer.
