Using elisp from Emacs version X+1 in Emacs version X doesn't work reliably. Even elisp written for Emacs X but byte compiled with Emacs X+1 doesn't work on Emacs version X reliably. I tried starting my Oort on Emacs 20 and it seems to work fine here. But if you get an error, a backtrace would help tracking down any bug.
