Alright, after adding the autoload declaration to the above function, and running "make autoloads" in the checked out Org-mode directory, I am able to load org.el successfully. I just committed this change. I guess we inherited the need to run "make autoloads" when we got rid of org-install.el? Perhaps the Org-mode build [1] page (the target of the "installing Org mode" link at the top of the home page) shouldn't start with the sentence "Org can be run directly from sources".
