First of all nice that something is "happening" on the issue - happy not to 
be the only one missing something. 
+ 1 
on  I also don't bother too much about the eval-on-export functionality as 
long as I can evaluate the buffer and get non repeated inline results.
For now I don't use inline blocks anymore. 

As an intermediate solution I would like to specify document wide options 
for inline code blocks only (:results silent); sorry - cannot find the 
example I saw on the net recently on how to do so. I could not get it 
working. 
I could set results silent argument in every inline src code but don't want 
the inline source code to be too long unnecessarily (affects readability of 
text).
