This one file is probably part of the org-mode distributed with your
emacs (that's why it is compressed: the files that you get through git,
or tar or ELPA are uncompressed[fn:1]). You are picking that up before you
pick up the org-latex.el from the 8.2.3c version of org-mode, presumably
because you loaded it early before you changed the value of load-path
to prefer the 8.2.3c version. 

What happens if you set load-path properly at the very beginning of your
.emacs file? See section 1.2 of the org manual.

Footnotes:

[fn:1] I'm sure about git, but it's only my belief in the other two cases
since I have never used either of those methods.
