Hello 

I got similar errors while updating from org 7.3 to 7.8.08/09. My
emacs is 23.1. Open up emacs and type C-c a a will give an error about
function org-today is not defined. If I do an M-x org-version at this
stage it shows as the old 7.3 version. I have to manually do M-x
org-reload, which will bring up to 7.8 version.  And then everything
seems to function just fine.

Also sometimes emacs won't open org file by default if I do "emacs
$filename.org", again M-x org-reload will fix the issue. But it's
tedious as now I have to do 2 steps to open a file.

Can someone please advise what might be the problem here?

Thanks,
Jinli
