The quoted part of the manual does suggest that lisp snippets should work 
like `:post (do-something *this*)'

But perhaps *this* (pun intended) is what was meant: an emacs-lisp block 
can refer to `*this*' without needing to pass the value as a header 
argument.


#+NAME: abc
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(concat *this* " and that")
#+END_SRC


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :post abc()
"T-H-I-S"
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: T-H-I-S and that
