Your org-version is "dirty", i.e. you have a mix of different versions.

Look at the manual on ho=w to solve this, or ask here with further
details on how you installed org and emacs.

There is no bug here, just missing files.  I should have read testing/README to figure out what I needed for dependencies.  ert is one of the packages that you need if you're not running on Emacs24, which I'm not.   This was definitely a user problem with "in between the ears" :)



cheers,
