Thanks for the investigation Ian.  So, since the tests run just fine
without it, and it offers an inconsistent and at times detrimental
feature, can we consider removing it, and/or adding some options for
that?

I'd be fine having to flag my src-block with a ":verbatim t" option to
make sure that the output is not mangled.

Thoughts?
