Confirmed.
This is caused by `org-src--contents-for-write-back' not adjusting
blank line indentation in some cases.

The attached diff will fix the issue, but git log reveals that the whole
thing is fragile - we adjusted code in this area multiple times with
a number of tricky special cases:

CCing Bastien and Sébastien, the authors of the previous commits in this
area.

I feel that the whole approach we use now with preserve-fl, use-tabs?,
and preserve-blank-line is overcomplicated. Maybe someone can explain
why we need all these special cases? The code does not reveal a whole lot.
