Indeed, the code from SX works, I took the simpler version and converted
it to work with square brackets:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
             (defun org-mode-sqbr-syntax-fix (start end)
               (when (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
                 (save-excursion
                   (goto-char start)
                   (while (re-search-forward "[]\\[]" end t)
                     (when (get-text-property (point) 'src-block)
                       ;; This is a ?[ or ?] in an org-src block
                       (put-text-property (point) (1- (point))
                                          'syntax-table (string-to-syntax "_")))))))

             (defun org-setup-sqbr-syntax-fix ()
               "Setup for characters ?[ and ?] in source code blocks.
  Add this function to `org-mode-hook'."
               (setq syntax-propertize-function 'org-mode-sqbr-syntax-fix)
               (syntax-propertize (point-max)))

             (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'org-setup-sqbr-syntax-fix)
#+end_src

I have confirmed that code runs when I load my org file, but there seems
to be something else than that callback involed, later on, evaluating
and changing those properties back. I still see same error in the
babel-block. However when I run fix explicitly on that code block (I
converted it to interactive "r" for test), then syntax is fine. So it
seems there is some other callback involved.

Sorry little bit late answer, I thought I sent this a day ago or so, but
apparently I didn't.

Thanks for the help.
