I guess we might try to run a poll. My view on this bug is rather skewed
as I saw it too many times. The true number of Org users affected may
actually vary.

Sure. Anything Emacs devs can act on. If you can prove that the problem
is in Emacs source code, we can report it in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=59882 and let Emacs devs
fix things.
Currently, it looks like Debian modifies certain aspects of Emacs
loading. In such scenario, we cannot expect things to be fixed on Emacs
side.

This looks like
https://orgmode.org/list/jwvsfkv5s7l.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org
But Emacs >26 + package-install specifically arranges unloading the
older version of the library. It should not suffer from this (in
theory).
