Hmmm ...
While trying to investigate one bug I have run into another odd one:

• emacs version: GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 23, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30, cairo version 1.15.12) of 2022-09-20
• org version: Org mode version 9.5.5 (release_9.5.5-804-gf1a197 @ /home/dortmann/src/git-org-mode/lisp/)
  

These two lines are in my *Messages* buffer:
File mode specification error: (void-function org-element-cache-reset)
Error during redisplay: (jit-lock-function 1) signaled (void-variable org-element-citation-prefix-re)


I ran this:
dortmann@ddo-linux:.emacs.d$ emacs -Q --debug-init asdf.el
... and then ran eval-buffer.

Where asdf.el has this content:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/dortmann/src/git-org-mode/lisp")
(require 'org)

(setq org-capture-templates
      `(("c" "Item to current clocked task" checkitem
       (clock)
       "%i%?" :prepend t :empty-lines 1)))



Then I loaded asdf.org which has this:
* TODO start clock on this test item


The result is the failure message above.  :-/
