Hi, all

I find org-babel-load-file not work for my emacs-starter-kit org file.

After some traces, I find that

(org-babel-merge-params nil nil nil)

returns:

((:comments . "") (:shebang . "") (:cache . "") (:padline . "") (:noweb . "") (:tangle . "") (:exports . "") (:results . ""))

which will override my default (:tangle "yes") value in org-babel-default-header-args

and org-babel-load-file simply don't tangle source blocks without ":tangle yes".

Below is the patch that solves this problem.

diff a/lisp/ob-core.el b/lisp/ob-core.el
