Yes, and see my response. Having to explicitly re-do the
`org-babel-lob-ingest` in the Local Variables with an eval tells me org
babel doesn't really know about LOB until my file explicitly tells it.
Doing `org-babel-lob-ingest` outside of the org file (at Emacs startup)
should set something to t and org babel should be happy.
