Still not got to the bottom of this and there are now 2 computers where
this happens:

Checked that I have the same emacs packages installed on all computers.
Copied .emacs to all computers, so it's the same everywhere.
Done several make cleans.
Happens with the most recent git checkout.

Version of emacs is the same on all computers:

GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
 of 2008-05-02 on king, modified by Ubuntu

As a bodge around copying compiled versions of org to the computers
where compiling fails seems to let org work with no problems.
