Even this doesn't seem to work. In my case:

    #+name: scramble-string
    #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var str="abcde"
      (apply #'string
             (reverse
              (string-to-list str)))
    #+end_src

    #+RESULTS: scramble-string
    : edcba

So far so good

    #+call: scramble-string(str="whatever-foo")

    #+RESULTS:
    : oof-revetahw

So calling scramble-string works as expected...

    #+tblname: reversed-strings
    | abcde   | #ERROR |
    | flibble | #ERROR |
    | dibble  | #ERROR |
    | xyzzy   | #ERROR |
    | another | #ERROR |
    #+TBLFM: $2='(org-sbe scramble-string (str $$1))

Hmm no dice... the debugger lists:

    Substitution history of formula
    Orig:   '(org-sbe scramble-string (str $$1))
    $xyz->  '(org-sbe scramble-string (str $$1))
    @r$c->  '(org-sbe scramble-string (str $$1))
    $1->    '(org-sbe scramble-string (str $"abcde"))
    Result: #ERROR
    Format: NONE
    Final:  #ERROR

Even calling org-sbe directly from a source block:

    #+name: call-scramble-string-via-sbe
    #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var val="thing"
    (org-sbe scramble-string (str val))
    #+end_src

So is this just broken untested functionality or are there any working
examples from which we could reverse engineer the proper docstring?
