During async compile there are a couple of warnings emitted:

In end of data:
org-macs.el:1463:29: Warning: the function ‘org-encode-time’ is not known to be defined.
org-macs.el:1361:10: Warning: the function ‘org-time-string-to-seconds’ is not known to be defined.

However org-encode-time is earlier defined in org-macs.el (within 'if' statement).

Also interesting, if I touch org-macs.el and synchronously compile, I see no issue:

Updating dynamic block ‘clocktable’ at line 1...
org-matcher-time: Invalid function: org-encode-time
