I've found out what prevented my Emacs 23 from working and I can finally test all relevant GNU Emacsen. Here's the compile / test matrix (row: Emacs used to compile Org, column: Emacs used to run test). Recorded are the number of passed tests and total tests run. I have all Babel languages with tests activated and the new exporter is not made available.

These are compiled as multi-byte characters in Emacs 22. XEmacs compatibility is broken at the moment: XEmacs does not have declare-function and the 5-argument form of load. I'll test if that can be worked around via a defalias or defmacro and also if I can get ert to work in batch-mode at least.
