The code isn't meant to be byte-compiled, but if you want to I'd have to
split it into two seperate files.  The ERT portion of the code is never
byte-compiled in Org and I don't know if it would make sense to do this.

Well, the code does declare the variable symbol special and initializes
it nil, so finding the symbol undefined during compilation and/or macro
expansion would constitute a bug in either ERT or Emacs, no?
