I am unsure, what the FAQ entry should contain. Just to test a fix, the 
following section from the manual may be handy:

(info "(org) Installation")
https://orgmode.org/manual/Installation.html

    git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/emacs/org-mode.git
    cd org-mode/
    make autoloads

    emacs -Q -L ~/src/org-mode/lisp test.org

without any init file. The only pitfall is that -q or -Q is almost 
certainly required since ~/.emacs.d/init.el is processed *before* -L 
option. In simple cases alternative init file may be loaded later 
(normal init is suppressed by -q/-Q)

    emacs -Q -L ~/src/org-mode/lisp -l ~/another-init.el test.org

Actually (add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/org-mode/lisp") close to 
beginning of of ~/.emacs.d/init.el is another way to run latest Org 
version, but do not forget comment it out after testing.
