Alas, it fails silently -- producing the erroneous output.

I guess the issue is that

 	`(re-search-forward (org-babel-noweb-wrap) nil t)'

finds quoted expressions like

1. "<<abc>>"
2. (concat "<<" abc ">>")

FWIW,

(re-search-forward
  (org-babel-noweb-wrap
   "\\([^ \"\t\n][^\"]+?[^ \"\t]\\|[^ \"\t\n]\\)"
   ) nil t)

(adding quotes to the [^...] bits) takes care of example 2. Not sure 
if example 1 is a feature or a bug - I sometimes use things like

 	"<<text-I-want>>"

so maybe modifying the regex is good enough?

OTOH, <<no-such-chunk>> has no effect. Maybe checking that the reference 
actually resolves is better than tweaking the regexes.


HTH,

Chuck
