Hmm... there's code in `package.el` intended to avoid that problem, but
clearly it's failing here.  Could Someone™ investigate why that code
doesn't do its job.

The code in question is in `package--reload-previously-loaded` and
my understanding is that it should cause `org-macs` to be reloaded from
the Org-9.6 version of the code before the new code gets compiled, and
that new version does define the `org-assert-version` version, so those
macro calls should then be compiled correctly.

[ The approach used in `package--reload-previously-loaded` has its
  weaknesses, but AFAIK it *should* be able to avoid the above error.  ]
