Thx. I somehow remember that my problem was related to the recently
discussed issue of creating new headlines as results of source blocks,
and to the fact that only headlines can contain headlines, so wrapping
in blocks and drawers does not really work.

I finally solved that problem for me by simply inserting the new headers
from Emacs Lisp without using Org-Babel, although a few workarounds were
proposed in the mentioned thread on this mailing list (a real solution
too? unfortunately lost track ...).
