That may well be a bug in the original code, although of course the
defvar is in a different file that has been loaded before the test
definition would expand the macro, so the expectation is that the symbol
should exist and have nil value when trying to run the tests.

I'll have to check again how things were supposed to have been
initialized in Org, but the assumption that the (no longer existing)
macro definitions made was clearly that the stand-in for the ll symbol
was pre-existing at macro expansion time.  I'll try to re-create the
test case to match that behaviour and come back to you.
