It is the opposite that's happening. Terminal works fine. It is the GUI

my macOS (Emacs.app and Aquamacs show the same behavior) but to other

to be investigated and eventually fixed.
Not by the org team, I think. As Scott reports:
I have no issues on Xubuntu with Org key bindings. I'm using Emacs
24.5.1 and Org 9.0.3 on Xubuntu 16.04.
I have no issues either on
macOS Sierra 10.12.5 Emacs.app 25.1.1 Org 9.0.7
AFAICS, the GUI Emacs.app runs as advertised and there is nothing wrong
with Org. There are a lot of us who use macOS and Org with no issues with
M-<left/right>, so it is hard to see how this is an org-mode issue.
Some additional data points:
M-<left> promotes and M-<right> demotes headlines using the usual GUI app.
The Terminal is tricky:
In the Terminal using Emacs.app, with Edit Menu - Use Option As Meta Key
selected:
I get promote/demote if I use S-<Option Key> <left/right> or C-<Option
Key> <left/right>.
ESC <left/right> runs promote/demote regardless of Option as Meta setting.
<Option Key>-<left/right> runs M-b/f regardless of Option as Meta setting.
Running C-h k <some key combo involving Option> shows that the Terminal
doesn't see Option as Meta in the way I would expect.
So, if there is a problem on my setup it lies in the Terminal.app or some
plist that governs it.
HTH,
