Are you sure you cleaned out everything from everywhere and don't have a "mixed version" installation?  That is the cause of many a strange problem.  Make sure you get rid of cached stuff that may be in .emacs.d in your home directory, perhaps in eln subdirectories.  Totally wipe out /usr/share/emacs, etc.  Don't count on 'apt' to clean everything for you.
