multi-line comments or expressions appearing to be headings break block.

#+begin_src php
/*
*do not prepend a space to 'do'
*/
b = 2
*3; // do not prepend a space to '3'
#+end_src

You need to prepend a comma before the asterisks. See (info "(org)Literal
examples").

If you edit the code-block with C-c ', the escape characters will be
handled automatically.

I'm not sure to understand. Have you tried the suggested solution?

I see what you mean now. I haven't tried evaluating the code in the block
yet. I assume it removes the commas automatically.

This is not documented directly but only in a footnote describing how
`org-edit-special' handles lines starting with special characters.

What type of blocks are affected by this?

Verbatim blocks. You cannot insert a headline in the others (e.g.,
center, quote).
