This is related to the issues with <> in src blocks. [ and ] have open and close syntactical meanings like < and > do in org files. A similar solution as found in https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/50216/org-mode-code-block-parentheses-mismatch seems to work to fix it.

I'm forwarding this to the emacs-orgmode list as this is something org maintainers probably need to see.

Is it me or is it a bug?

When in org mode in an elisp block, this seems to confuse syntax
checker:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(progn
  (if (= (following-char) ?\])
      (forward-char -1))
  )
#+end_src

Identation seems to think it is one level extra, and it also shows as
error. Same of course when testing for ?\[.

It does evaluate correctly. Ordinary elisp buffer does not have problem
with this, only when in code blocks in org-mode or elisp mode.I can send
in some screenshot with errors if needed.
