But I don't think the issue is with package.el per se. You get the same
problem if you try to install org-mode manually without package.el. What is
really needed to fix this problem is some mechanism which will ensure all
org related definitions are somehow purged from the running instance before
attempting to install and compile a new version.  Provided there is no
org-mode functionality loaded when you install a later version with
package.el, it works fine.
