I've been experiencing similar problems with increasing annoyance level for over a month. Thanks to these comments I think I got to the bottom of it!
The MELPA package org-mac-link (latest is org-mac-link-20160808.220) has clearly continued being updated with new code that include calls to org-link-set-parameters. The org-mac-link.el in package org-plus-contrib has the code that works with org v8. Everyone who has been using MELPA, especially with use-package, to load org-mac-link.el has not been using the code in org-plus-contrib.
I removed the downloaded org-mac-link package files and the corresponding depends-on line from my Cask file, and reverted to old require syntax to load org-mac-link . Problem solved.
