Subject: org-special-ctrl-a/e broken [7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-1447-gb2e1d6-git @ org-loaddefs.el can not be found!)]

Hi, all.

i am noticing that in at least the latest git pull version of
org-mode, org-special-ctrl-a/e (if setq'd to t) does not work
correctly in Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-1447-gb2e1d6-git
but does work correctly in Org-mode version 7.8.03
(release_7.8.03.268.g9706.dirty).

I run neither version fully installed - -just run via source in a
subdir which is on my load-path (~/git/org-mode/lisp).

I am running GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
2.24.10) of 2012-11-08 on lakoocha, modified by Debian (on Ubuntu
12.10). (My emacs does have an org-mode built-in (apparently 7.8.11)
which gets 'redefined' every time I start up, because of my git-pulled
org-mode in the load-path.  I don't know how to get rid of it.
However, that is true both when I am running org-mode 7.8.03 and
7.9.3f..)

Because of a 2nd bug which I also experience only in 7.9.3f, I cannot
post this bug via M-x org-submit-bug-report, either.  (I get as far as
being prompted (in the minibuffer) with: "Include your Org-mode
configuration (yes or no)" and I type yes and then in the mini-buffer
returns the message, "Wrong type argument: stringp, nil", and I am
returned only to the blank *scratch* buffer.)

Fortunately, I saved my previous org-mode git directory (7.8.03), and
can switch back and forth between that and the new one (7.9.3f) and
restart emacs each time to test and confirm.

Erroneous behavior has 2 parts:

1) C-a: When (setq org-special-ctrl-a/e t) in the newest org-mode, C-a
doesn't work correctly when on a header.  Repeated presses of C-a
toggle point back and forth between 1st star in the headline (or a
later star if #+startup indent is specified and on a 2nd or more level
headline) and the first character of text after the todo keyword.

2) C-e: C-e doesn't work at all.  Whether on a headline line, or in
normal text, C-e only results in minibuffer message: Symbol's function
definition is void: org-element-at-point

Expected Behavior:

Of course, correct behavior (as I experience it when running org-mode
7.8.03) is that C-a (no matter how many times typed) takes point ONLY
to 1st character of headline title text following any TODO keyword.
Correct behavior for C-e is to take point only to just after the last
char of headline title text (but before any trailing tags).

Again, reverting to 7.8.03 org-mode, and restarting emacs, the problem
goes away.  Or setting org-special-ctrl-a/e nil makes problem go away
when using newest org-mode, but of course just reverts to normal
behavior  (point on stars or tags, etc.)

Let me know if I can be any more specific.

All behavior can be reproduced with minimal.emacs and test.org as
below.  "current state" reflects that setup.

Thanks for any suggestions or help..
