I think this is a bug in jupyter-org-client.el in this function:

(defun jupyter-org--add-result (req result)
  (cond
   ((jupyter-org-request-silent-p req)
    (unless (equal (jupyter-org-request-silent-p req) "none")
      (message "%s" (org-element-interpret-data result))))
   ((jupyter-org-request-async-p req)
    (jupyter-org--clear-request-id req)
    (jupyter-org--do-insert-result req result))
   (t
    (push result (jupyter-org-request-results req)))))

The problem is that when the jupyter block is executed to define the
variable in the python header, it is run with a "silent" results param. The
function above is responsible for adding the results to the
jupyter-org-request struct, and here when it sees the results are silent,
it does not do that, so the results are nil, which is why you see what you
see.

I don't think that behavior is correct. It isn't quite right to just remove
the first block though, at least in this case. The result in this function
is already structured as a fixed-width results element intended to be
interpreted as a results string, and not the numeric value returned. So the
fix is probably upstream from this.

I am not sure what the fix is for this. The code path from C-cC-c to
executing the code, handling the request to the kernel, getting results and
to the output is very hard to follow for me. I would post an issue at
https://github.com/nnicandro/emacs-jupyter/issues.
