Re: Bug: syntax highlighting in ox-odt and emacs26+ broken [9.1.2 (9.1.2-elpa @ /home/jay/Code/tmp/emacs/lisp/org/)]

I submitted a bug report to emacs core, and Eli says:

I tried to take a look at this, but this problem seems more subtle than
I originally thought. The `org-odt-src-block' function seems to be
returning the exact same thing in both scenarios, so the problem
(unfortunately) must be related to the highest level (where the odt is
stitched together). I'll try to keep looking at this, but I would
appreciate if someone else could take a look. I would also be happy to
accept any pointers relating to the ox-odt build process.
