Did you send it to the bug-gnu-emacs mailing list or to the org-mode
mailing list? If the latter, you cannot check its status: org-mode does
not have a bug tracking system as such. You need to wait for a
maintainer or other interested party to respond (please, wait at least a
week before pinging the list again: it might take a while for
somebody to get around to it, but after a week or so, it's a fair
supposition that it fell through the cracks).

For the specific problems you are reporting below, it looks to me
as if you are missing some initialization. I would add

(require 'org-loaddefs)

to init-org-minimal.el and try again.

For the "mixed installation" problem, please search the list: there
have been tens or hundreds of these problems reported. The best way
to avoid it is to follow the instructions in

(info "(org) Installation")

exactly and use a tried-and-true method rather than going your own way.

HTH, but please realize it's all untested conjecture.
