Bug: C-c C-c does not handle dynamic blocks correctly [7.9.3d (release_7.9.3d-894-gfe805e)]

[Stefan-W. Hahn]

Hello,

if trying to update a dynamic clocktable with "C-c C-c", point on "#+BEGIN",
I get the error message:

"user-error: C-c C-c can do nothing useful at this location"

The clocktable looks like:

#+BEGIN: clocktable
#+END: clocktable

This is the definition describe in the manual. I tracked this down to

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(defun org-element-dynamic-block-parser (limit affiliated)
  "Parse a dynamic block.
...

  (let ((case-fold-search t))
    (if (not (save-excursion
	       (re-search-forward "^[ \t]*#\\+END:?[ \t]*$" limit t)))
                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
	;; Incomplete block: parse it as a paragraph.
	(org-element-paragraph-parser limit affiliated)
      (let ((block-end-line (match-beginning 0)))
...
#+end_src

If clocktable is defined with "+END: clocktable" the parser recognizes it
as a paragraph, not a clocktable.

If I write

#+BEGIN: clocktable
#+END:

than the evaluation with "C-c C-c" will work. 

This behaviour has been changed, perhaps this is a bug.
(In the org-versin delivered with Emacs 24.2.50.1 the parser code
from org-element.el is not used; this version works like described
in the manual wwith "#+END: clocktable".)

My installation:

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1)
 of 2012-10-13 on cw-bkp0, modified by Debian
Package: Org-mode version 7.9.3d (release_7.9.3d-894-gfe805e)

Kind regards,
Stefan

This is incorrect syntax.

This is the correct syntax.

The syntax is just stricter with Elements. Please use the second one.
