Thank you, Max, for looping me into the discussion (and thanks, Ignacio,
for the initial report and debugging).

The long tail of 9e1b9fe62 (Port more time-related changes, 2019-08-18)

My suggestion:

  1. Send a report to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org describing the issue.  Ask
     that Paul revert those changes.

     I can do this at some point this week.

  2. Audit and update the call sites on our side, along with some
     compatibility layer.

The first isn't necessary, but it avoids the problem living in the Emacs
master branch until the updated Org code base (main branch) is synced
with it (which hasn't started yet).
