Thanks for catching this, I've just pushed up a fix.
To complain to no-one in particular for a second...
The exclusion of the cl functions from Emacs packages including both
functions like `remove-if', and basic macros like `flet', has one of
two possible consequences. Either (1) authors work around the missing
functionality by contorting the logic of their code so as to not need
this functionality, or (2) the function is re-implemented with a
package specific prefix and often slightly different semantics. I
know I've had to do both in my own Org-mode coding, and I believe most
major packages do both of these [1].
Best,
