* GNU Emacs 24.3.1 creates macro-expansion failure messages

I am running Org-mode version 7.9.4 and recently upgraded to Gnu Emacs 24.3.1.

Now when I start Emacs I get an error message which causes my Emacs to give 
the following message:

Eager macro-expansion failure: (error "Invalid agenda key") [2 times]
(lambda (x) ...) quoted with ' rather than with #'

Org-mode works but Emacs starts with a split window with a *scratch* buffer 
and a "GNU Emacs" buffer (which is the only window I expected).

My Lisp skills are almost non-existent. Who can help please?

Thank you
Charles

I gather this is not with emacs -Q.

Can you narrow down to what causes this in your configuration?

I decided to start with a new .emacs file by commenting out every line then 
adding back the commands starting with orgmode. Everything worked fine so I 
can only assume that I had been loading an old package that caused a conflict.

Now that I am happy with the latest version of org-mode and GNU Emacs I wont 
pursue the cause of my reported problem - obviously something of my own 
making.

It is good to have a much cleaner .emacs file.  I deleted a lot of code of 
things I have tried out in the past and dont use.

Good to know, thanks.
