There is this line at the end of org-loaddefs.el:

;; no-byte-compile: t

So my understanding is that org-loaddefs.el is never compressed.

Under which conditions is it compressed?

That's why the user needs to add the correct load-path in his
.emacs.el when using a tarball or a git clone.  I made it clear
in the docs.

This correct load-path is shadowed by the one of an ELPA install 
if the user does not take care of (package-initialize) at the very
beginning of his .emacs.el, but I also made it clear that users
should avoid mixing two installation methods.

So I think we're fine here.
