Thanks for checking.  The problem also shows up if I replace begin_example by begin_src r (say), so it's not just because Org doesn't know the language.

Also, if I start with

--------------------------------------------------
#+begin_example
#+end_example
--------------------------------------------------

and repeat the above steps (but typing C-c ' on the /first/ line), the output becomes

--------------------------------------------------
#+begin_exampl  test
  +end_example
--------------------------------------------------

Note that the last "e" of "begin_example" got dropped!
