Aha -- you have to use the :var syntax on the begin_src line, not the
params-in-parens syntax on the name line. Your version works:
#+name: example-block
#+begin_src sh :var input=""
echo "input is $input"
#+end_src
but this doesn't:
#+name: example-block(input="")
#+begin_src sh
echo "input is $input"
#+end_src
The doc seems to say it should work the same, in
http://orgmode.org/manual/var.html (see "Alternate Argument Syntax").
