Bug: org-backward-paragraph give an error when called from the #+BEGIN_SRC line of a source block [9.1.1 (9.1.1-17-g24ea1b-elpaplus @ /home/omar/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20171002/)]

Bug: org-backward-paragraph give an error when called from the #+BEGIN_SRC line of a source block [9.1.1 (9.1.1-17-g24ea1b-elpaplus @ /home/omar/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20171002/)]

If you run `org-backward-paragraph` from the `#+BEGIN_SRC` line of a
source block it gives the error message "Invalid search bound (wrong
side of point)", instead of moving point.

I tried tracking it down and this error message comes from a call to
`re-search-backward` in the source for `org-backward-paragraph`:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(when (re-search-backward "^[ \t]*$" contents-begin 'move)
  (skip-chars-forward " \r\t\n" origin)
  (if (= (point) origin) (goto-char contents-begin)
    (beginning-of-line)))
#+END_SRC

This excerpt is from inside a branch of a `cond` that tests for
`(memq type '(src-block verse-block))`. I don't really understand what
the code is trying to do or why the case of source blocks and verse
block should be handled together.

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list.

Fixed. Thank you.

Because we want to treat their contents differently than what the parser
sees. For example, source blocks have no contents, and verse blocks'
ignore blank lines.
