Yes, but we will at least abort the compilation this way.

I guess we can use the same error with what `org-assert-version' itself
throws:

(error "Org version mismatch.  Make sure that correct `load-path' is set early 
in init.el")

If you can, please check it. (AFAIU, you do have a setup where you can
reproduce the installation problem)
