Ok, I have a work-around which involves handling an error in
ob-tangle.el. The bug is in the org-babel-tangle-jump-to-org function
where 'forward-char' is spitting out an unhandled error as it tries to
move beyond the end of the buffer.
Here's the diff for my simple (half) fix:

- (forward-char (- mid body-start))
+ (condition-case err
+ (forward-char (- mid body-start))
+ (error (message "mid %d body-start %d\nerror message: %s"
+ mid body-start (error-message-string err))))
;; And return to the Org-mode buffer with the point in the right

The real fix would involve finding out why the (- mid body-start)
value is not calculated correctly and puts point beyond the end of the
buffer.
