I don't use Org-mode or Babel myself.  I don't understand shell code.

Different backends use different engines for colorizing source blocks.

    ODT uses htmlfontify.  
    HTML uses htmlize.
    LaTeX probably relies on TeX packages like minted etc.

I suspect the problem could be in htmlfontify library or the exporter
interfaces with it.  If you could post a complete minimal snippet by
removing ellipses etc., I can do some post-mortem and narrow the issue
further.

You can turn off the colors on source blocks by customizing,

     M-x customize-variable RET org-odt-fontify-srcblocks RET

So, instead of switching to EXAMPLE blocks you can just turn off
colorization and see whether problem is reproducible.  This is a sure
proof that there is something amiss in htmlfontify.el or how the expoter
interfaces with it.
