Hmm, after putting your minimal .emacs (suitably localized) in ~/temp,
emacs -Q -l /Users/dk/temp/.emacs launches emacs and opens the minimal
.emacs file for editing, but apparently doesn't source it.  M-x
locate-library RET org RET points to the org that ships with my emacs,
rather than to the one indicated in the minimal .emacs.

Following some advice on EmacsWiki, I have this in .bashrc:

alias emacs='/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs'
alias emacsclient='/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient'
