None of the behavior you cite is in the current master as of 28-may-2019:

No mention of inline blocks in 14.6 Exporting Code Blocks. I guess that web page needs to update or refers to something other than master.

As you can verify with your test, header args do affect inline src blocks. I believe this is consistent with the current manual.

This worked for me when exporting to an ascii buffer.

There were some problems starting with 5f5d82ed516b7b385a9258271becbfa247e94af3, but these were fixed long ago.

I ran this and it produced the file:

src_sh{touch ~/test21.txt;echo "done"}

Without the echo, export fails as touch produces no result.

In my test, the code is evaluated in the session, but no results are reported.

If I had to guess, I'd say there is something wrong with your installation.

If you think otherwise, an ECM that runs with only a minimal init file (that you specify) might be helpful.
