I see, so what about those autoloaded defcustoms org-mode already has
picked up?  Should they not be removed, then?

lisp/ob-tangle.el: (defcustom org-babel-tangle-lang-exts
lisp/org-export-generic.el: (defcustom org-export-generic-links-to-notes t
lisp/org-man.el: (defcustom org-man-command 'man

It seems that this would be a common problem, but I can't find a better
solution.  Something like a special autoload cookie that only triggers
on some other function (or possibly autoload)...

Sure, I certainly didn't know about it - but then it probably still
misses the target audience.

Also, it seems that not all defcustoms are picked up that way: after
switching to the Org customize group via customize-group I only get
about 500 completions for customize-variable, whereas the sources have
over 700.  Calling org-customize manually increases the number of
"known" variables to 679, but still not all of them.
