I'm currently on holiday so I've only time to check the mails and reply
when necessary.  I won't have time to look into this before next week
*but*... if it's a macro issue it might be some missing require in the
org code, we have seen this kind of issue is the most common.

Is this org async compiled?  If so Kenneth have we verifed the emitted
warnings?

Thanks!
