After reconfiguring package-archives, you haven't saved it for future
sessions or you forgot to recompile your .emacs.

This is OK. Because org mode gets updated daily. You are actually seeing
the tar files from here.

This is along the expected lines. I have done a quick look at the
compile log.

Some notes:
1. The files are compiled in alphabetical order.
2. The only reference to org-eval-in-environment - of which you complain
- is in compile log is in org-agenda.el.
3. Note that org-macs.el gets compiled after org-agenda.el
4. org-mobile.el has no references to org-eval-in-environment.
Needless to your "system-installed" org has no org-eval-in-environment
in it's org-macs.el.
The only way org-agenda.el can have org-eval-in-environment compiled in
as macro is by
1. compiling & loading org-macs.el from the package dir.
2. compiling org-agenda.el
strictly in that order.
Now the question is what is the reciped for accomplishing 1 & 2 in that
order.
I hope some of the observers will lend me a helping hand.
Relevant?

This preciely load org-macs.el from the elpa dir.

So the problem is solved.
Now the exact order of org-reload and package-install-file is important.
It is not package-install-file *alone* that solves the problem. It is
package-install-file *after* org-reload/uncompiled that solves the
problem.
The sequence is important.
Now the question is can we get everything working *without* requiring
that the user do a org-reload explicitly?
