I noticed this as well. Bastien would have more information on the
'brokenness' you are reporting.

Meanwhile, did you experiment with tars at
http://orgmode.org/pkg/daily/? These tars are getting built
regularly. At this moment installation is a two step process - you have
to manually download the tar and install it with M-x package-upload-file
[1].

Once my patch - http://hg.newartisans.com/patch/377/ - gets checked in
and worg server is updated, one will be able to install org tarballs
with a single step.

I hope you were able to install org-20101120.tar (the 'latest' on
elpa.gnu.org) without any issues.
