I got in the debugger, and the problem is that the regular expression
for the end of the centering block, computed as inner-re in
org-export-blocks-preprocess fails to match my #+end_center

inner-re is:

(inner-re (format "[\r\n][ \t]*#\\+\\(begin\\|end\\)_%s"
				     (regexp-quote (downcase (match-string 2)))))

I don't understand why this is happening: I haven't been able to tell if
the regular expression is incorrectly written, so it fails to find the
ending of the center block, or if somehow the logic in the while loop
(which counts begins and ends to make sure they match) is counting wrong.
