I reproduced the issue with packages available in Debian and Ubuntu,
including -Q, so minimally affected by distribution-specific
configuration, but I have not tried to compile Emacs myself. I am
judging from changes in Emacs code made after release of version 28.

apt build-dep emacs
and perhaps "apt install" for some …-dev packages for new features.
However my surprise is namely dependence on specific
packaging/distribution. My expectation that it should be reproducible in
Gentoo as well.

Either I missed your point or the issue will be just postponed. Patched
variant will not prevent mixed version compilation, so users still may
experience calls of undefined functions or incompatible argument types.

I do not think it is good idea to rely on
(or (fboundp 'org-assert-version)
(fboundp 'package--reload-previously-loaded))
I have not checked if some public function may be used for feature
detection of code appeared in Emacs-29. That is why I would consider
(when (or (fboundb 'org-assert-version)
(version<= "29" emacs-version))
(org-assert-version))
However I am still in doubts if it is improvement in comparison to
simple (org-assert-verions) without any conditions.
