Yes, although I cannot reproduce Myles's results with Org-mode version
7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-459-g6f7e92 @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp).

It depends on what you type exactly: typing "test" with no extra
newlines produces the result above for me. If I add newlines, I get
"funny-looking" results with the #+END_EXAMPLE indented some.

Since it does not know a language, the buffer is in fundamental mode
and you get (modulo funny indentation perhaps) whatever you type.
