Actually, the backtrace goes through the el-get loaddefs file, so maybe something is going wrong there. Let me check with the el-get developers and see if they know what is going on.

When I install a fresh copy of org-mode via el-get, I see the following error:

Bug: Symbol's value as variable is void: org-src-lang-modes

I don't believe this is a problem in el-get, but if I'm wrong, let me know and I will take this up with the el-get developers.

Here is the backtrace:
