I also prefer the current behaviour.

I regularly use C-c C-, e C-c ' C-y C-c '

to create and populate my example blocks.  This handles the newline
correctly and does not break the syntax.  This also has the benefit of
properly escaping text that interferes with org's syntax.

When you have text in the kill buffer that looks like org headlines it
pastes outside the example block -- which is proper behaviour when
moving headlines around.

try this:

C-c C-, e C-y
with the following your yank buffer

--------
*** one
some text
*** two
more text
--------

You can't paste that inside

#begin_example
#end_example

or

#begin_example

#end_example
