I can confirm that this is the behavior seen on Emacs24 even when no
configuration is loaded. I think this is the *wrong* behavior, quotes
are generally textual and loading them in artist mode (to me) is
surprising and undesirable.
In looking at the code it seems that `org-edit-special' will launch
*any* block type in fixed width mode which isn't explicitly caught by
`org-edit-src-code'. See the relevant portion of the function [1]. I
think the fix here would be to change `org-edit-fixed-width-region'
s.t. it only returns true when in fixed width block types (e.g.,
example). Then possibly add another case statement to launch other
block types into text-mode special editing.
Best,
Footnotes:
[1] The call to `org-edit-fixed-width-region' returns true when the
point is in *any* block type.
