Headline markup has the highest priority. Your block is interpreted as

<paragraph with #+name affiliated keyword>
#+name: bar
#+begin_sec text
<headline>
* Hello world
<paragraph>
#+end_src

See https://orgmode.org/manual/Literal-Examples.html
You need to escape "*" and "#+" at the beginning of line inside code
blocks using comma: ",*", ",#+".
Org will do it for you automatically if you use C-c ' interface to edit
source blocks.

Best,
Ihor
