Dear Maintainers,

I seem to have been able to solve this issue through some brute force debugging.
The problem emanates from when copying over the local variables, especially the `buffer-file-name' variable

The function definition `org-src--edit-element' contains a provision to make the said variable nil - but it is quickly reset during initialisation of the buffer just 1 line downstream. Moving the setq statement 4 lines below seems to solve the issue,

Herein I give the patch,

```

```

The following in .init can also be done by users not willing to patch the source file `org-src.el'

(defun patch/org-src--edit-element (&rest args)
  (setq-local buffer-file-name nil))
(advice-add 'org-src--edit-element

Thank you,
