I think you can replace

: (:results . "html")

with

: (:results . (or (and org-export-current-backend "html")  "none"))


in your defvar and get the desired result.

If you want export to succeed under other backends, you can replace "html" 
with (symbol-name org-export-current-backend) and then the result will be 
wrapped if (say) latex or ascii is used.

HTH,
