I tried evaluating the code block in the following file both with (my
probably slightly stale version of) master: Org-mode version 7.7
(release_7.7.120.g2edd) and the version with the patch applied: Org-mode
version 7.7 (release_7.7.121.gb267a)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BABEL: :exports code

* foo

Verbiage to begin the paragraph
#+begin_src sh
date
#+end_src
and verbiage to end the same paragraph.

* bar

Verbiage to begin the paragraph
#+begin_example
date
#+end_example
and verbiage to end the same paragraph.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After C-c C-c in the code block, it looks like this in both cases:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+BABEL: :exports code

* foo

Verbiage to begin the paragraph
#+begin_src sh
date
#+end_src

#+results:
: Fri Aug 19 15:36:04 EDT 2011

and verbiage to end the same paragraph.

* bar

Verbiage to begin the paragraph
#+begin_example
date
#+end_example
and verbiage to end the same paragraph.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So I don't think the patch changes anything in the visual appearance of
the results. Am I missing something? Were you worried about this or
something else? Of course, the line after the results does become a new
paragraph in this case when exported to latex: there's yet *another*
newline inserted after the results, but that is a separate problem, and
the patch under discussion does not change that behavior at all.
Agreed?

Thanks,
Nick
