The versions published on ELPA are from the maint branch of org git.

Correct, both are the exact same stable 8.3.x versions; just that
org-plus-contrib has the packages in contrib/ folder which the other does
not have.

Also installing just org-plus-contrib should suffice. You do not need to
install both. If you are not using any package from the contrib/ area (
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/contrib/lisp?h=maint ), you
do not need org-plus-contrib, and you can use just the org package.

But the mystery is still unresolved for me.. why did #+BEGIN_EXPORT syntax
work for you .. May be someone else more knowledgeable can answer that.
