I have a similar and possibly related problem which I can consistently
reproduce.

In any Org-mode buffer create and enter an empty code block, I like to
do this with "<s TAB sh DOWNARROW" resulting in the following with the
cursor at C

#+begin_src sh
C
#+end_src

Then "C-'" into edit mode type "foo bar" do *not* type enter, and then
do a "C-'" again to go back to the Org-mode buffer.  You are left with
the following in the Org-mode buffer, which is not valid Org.

#+begin_src sh
  foo bar#+end_src

This is a relatively new problem which I only begun to notice in the
last month or so.

Best,
