Possible false alarm. As I continued to work on this, I accidentally didn't use :results output code, yet the formatting was fine... I'm wondering if I had a dangling #+begin_src with no matching end?
Still, I am intrigued by the toggle between prepending with ":" and wrapping in example blocks, despite what appears to be no practical impact at this point.
