I'm not seeing this. The following works for me with C-c C-c on the
lob/call lines. However, note that the #+call line will *appear* not to
do anything as things stand, because it sees the existing results block
created by the #+lob call.

#+srcname: square(x)
#+begin_src python
return x*x
#+end_src

#+lob: square(x=2)

#+results: square(x=2)
: 4

#+call: square(x=2)


Is the above definitely not working for you? What version of org are you
using?
