Oh! Apologies: didn't mean to be short or unhelpful. I misunderstood you -- my bad!
So: by default (at least, for me, in my configuration), Org automatically tries to interpret the results of src blocks as Org values -- usually tables. For example, evaluating `ls -la` in a shell src block returns, by default, Org's best attempt to parse a table from the output of ls.
`:results verbatim` skips this, inserting the values as an example block. Vis:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
ls -la | head
#+END_SRC

So. With call, I get values wrapped in quotes, often with a newline, if I use `verbatim`.
