That is expected, see the docstring of that variable.

Same here, you need to set this variable *before* org.el gets loaded -  
I am
suspecting that you are setting it after?

This is kind of tricky.  Variable settings should therefore *before*  
any require statements, and also the

      (load-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")

or similar statement must be *before* all the `require' statements.

I am curious if, after you fix this, blocking will still not work.
Please let us know.
