Yes, I was aware of this, but didn't think we could do better in this 
case. I've
thought about it some more, and came up with a solution.

Here's a new patch that's smarter about indenting the current line, and 
resolves
this remaining issue.

Subject: [PATCH] org-src.el: Do not indent blank lines, except current one

* lisp/org-src.el (org-src--contents-for-write-back): Do not indent blank lines, except for the
current line maybe.
(org-src--preserve-blank-line): New variable, whether to preserve
indentation of the current blank line.
(org-src--edit-element): Set `org-src--preserve-blank-line'.
* lisp/org.el (org-indent-line): When tab acts natively, do some
preindentation, which signals `org-src--edit-element' to
preserve the indentation of current blank line.

Removing all the whitespace was the original behaviour for all blank lines, before `857ae366b3`.
