I think this is meant such that
(require 'org)
will not do anything until you turn on Org-mode in a buffer.
I don't think it means that re-loading the same package cannot restore
some of its defaults. In fact, one of the reasons for reloading is
so the new/modified features can be activated without restarting Emacs.
Still, I agree that it is not nice to overwrite your key bindings,
or to make org-return-follows-link stop working. The latter is
clearly a bug which I would like to fix.
