I think something is very wrong if your Emacs 28 has org 9.3. I'm pretty
sure the earliest version which was bundled with Emacs 28 was 9.4 - it
is certainly 9.5 now and that is the version that will be bundled with
it when it is released.

My suggestion would be to update Emacs to current version on the
emacs-28 branch of the git repo. This is at 'rc1' level and close to
what will be released. There is not much oint in trying to diagnose an
issue with both an old development version of Emacs and a version of org
which is two releases old. Update Emacs and ensure org is at least
version 9.5 (verison 9.5.1 was just released).
