This is probably a lexical binding problem: org-state is supposed to be
dynamically bound by org-todo and then used by org-clock-out-if-current,
but it seems that the communication is lost.

I'm not sure what the solution is (I haven't really followed the
upstream discussion), but I wonder if adding

(defvar org-state)

in org.el, just before the

(defun org-todo ...

line is enough to resolve the problem (basically letting org-todo know
that org-state is dynamically bound).

Untested and possibly wrong.
