Looks like 1.5.0 (which is the version I get when installing csv-mode
from package.el) has a coding error. Unbalanced parens at line 1134.
My package install showed that with error text like:

    Compiling file …/.emacs.d/elpa/csv-mode-1.50/csv-mode-pkg.el at
Sun May 12 14:58:58 2013
    Entering directory `…/.emacs.d/elpa/csv-mode-1.50/'
    Error: Unmatched bracket or quote

Which yours may or may not have done as well.

Anyway, this is after the mode definition in `csv-mode.el` so while
there's definitely something wrong with that file, I am still able to
find a `.csv` file and have it automatically load up csv mode.
Obviously functionality defined after the coding error will not work
as it won't have loaded.

Contact the maintainer or maybe open a patch up? Should be an easy fix.

Hope this points you down the right path!
