Tim,
Thank for the report, and the digging for ob-langs that might be
affected. The underlying issue is that prologue and epilogue are part
of both the user facing parts of org babel as well as the internal
language implementation facing code. This is a fundamental design flaw
in org babel that needs to be fixed. I have been working on writing up
and diagraming a potential solution for community feedback, but it is
not quite ready yet. Thus, I'm filing this thread along with the
others that I have been compiling about org babel issues. Best!
Tom
