I just updated from git repo, no issues here (WinXP, Emacs22.2,
Org at commit 9919ff82a0f2952d6f36e13f242e6c23d96da14c).  It may
not resolve your error but you may consider the suggestion below.

I think an (easier and cleaner, I think) alternate way to achieve
this would be something like this:

(setq org-use-fast-todo-selection t)
(setq org-todo-keywords
      '((sequence "TODO(t)"
                  "STARTED(s)"
                  "WAITING(w)"
                  "DELEGATED(l)" "|"
                  "DONE(d)"
                  "DEFERRED(f)")))

Fast selection shortcuts this way can also record the time of
state change and/or take a note at the time of switching states.
