Having thought about it a bit, i seem to remember that a while 
back, i had the same issue as the one you're currently 
experiencing. (Even though, as i noted above, i can't reproduce it 
my current setup, a manually compiled 24.4.1 on Debian 
Wheezy(+updates) x86_64.)  Unfortunately, i can't remember what 
made the problem go away; the only two things that come to mind 
are:

* installing and using Org from the orgmode.org ELPA, i.e.

   (add-to-list 'package-archives 
                '("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/";) t) 

or

* removing existing Org-related byte-compiled files (i.e. *.elc 
 files), 
 so that they got regenerated.
