Thanks for the patch. Some comments follow.

According to the Elisp manual:
The value of LEXICAL can also be a non-empty alist specifying
a particular "lexical environment" for lexical bindings; however,
this feature is only useful for specialized purposes, such as in
Emacs Lisp debuggers. *Note Lexical Binding::.
I'm not opposed to it, but is there any reason to include the
opportunity to specify an alist here?

You need to separate sentences with two spaces.
You also need to add (defconst org-babel-header-args:emacs-lisp). See
for example `org-babel-header-args:R'.

Nitpick: (cdr (assq :lexical params))

Nitpick, while you're at it: (cdr (assq :result-params params))

There is no support for t. I think we should allow both :lexical
t and :lexical yes.
