That's a feature, not a bug:

,----
| org-edit-fixed-width-region is an interactive Lisp function in
| `org-src.el'.
| 
| (org-edit-fixed-width-region)
| 
| Edit the fixed-width ascii drawing at point.
| This must be a region where each line starts with a colon followed by
| a space character.
| An new buffer is created and the fixed-width region is copied into it,
| and the buffer is switched into `artist-mode' for editing.  When done,
| exit with C-c '.  The edited text will then replace
| the fragment in the Org-mode buffer.
