I tried (org-version t) C-x C-e but it inserted nothing. Looking at the
code, I'd suggest the following patch.

OTOH, I find it a bad idea that some arguments are ignored in
non-interactive uses, it'd be better to have a function which fully
obeys its arguments, and has an interactive spec which sets the
argument. If you're interested I can do that.
