I've seen this happening a lot in a variety of modes. When I do `:results
raw`, on subsequent  evaluations, rather than replacing the results block,
it gets appended to.

This is almost never what I want. I remember seeing some use of `:results
raw replace` in some manual or another but that never really seems to work
for me.

Is there a property or something that can be set to always replace?

That's expected: with `:results raw', org-babel does not know where
the results end, since there is no marker, so it cannot clear them
before producing the new results  - it just puts them right after the
`#+RESULTS:' line.

Why are you using `raw'? Can you use some other format (e.g. `drawer'
or `example') instead?
