Maybe a better solution would be to add a feature to avoid echoing very
large results to the minibuffer.  It should be very straightforward to
add a user customizable variable (e.g., `org-babel-max-echo-length' or
somesuch) which limits the number of characters echo'd to the
minibuffer.

Ah, my fault for not completely reading and understanding your previous
post.  I'm currently working on a set of patches with Achim which should
(I believe) resolve this issue.
