Not sure what you mean. This is the problem, i.e., just this code

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

(> 1 2)

#+end_src

in an org file produces a parens mismatch, which, BTW, check-parens also flags. Anywhere else (e.g., *scratch*) in Emacs this code produces no mismatch.

I don't know the details but this ECM might help:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(> 1 2)
#+end_src

The right broken bracket matches the left parenthesis in org-mode, but not in a Lisp Interaction Mode buffer.
