I am not able to reproduce this on

"GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.12)
 of 2010-01-30 on noorul"

"Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.464.g413c)"

I had this in an org file

* A note on the variable *x
  This is another testing

and used C-c C-e b

Thanks and Regards
Noorul
