Yes, because they are auto-generated.  In fact you might want to clear
the whole installation tree to remove files from earlier versions of Org
that have been renamed.

I'd think so, but I don't know the exact details of how ebuild works.

Then your ebuild file is likely defective, since your definition of
ORG_ADD_CONTRIB doesn't seem to be conditional.

Nowhere, the installation includes all the files that you added with
ORG_ADD_CONTRIB right where Org gets installed.  Adding them again
(uncompiled) in a different place is asking for trouble.
