Yes - raw does not keep track of where the results begin and end and
cannot erase the old ones before adding the new ones. Try
calling org-babel-remove-result: you'll see that it gets rid of the
#+RESULTS: line but it doesn't touch the actual results. Once it has
inserted them, they become part of the buffer, outside the jurisdiction
of the code block/babel.
