This is a corner-case. `org-element-at-point' returns the closest
element at point, but prefers to see an empty paragraph than a special
block, for consistency. I.e., when point is within block boundaries, you
never return `special-block'.

(org-element-lineage (org-element-at-point) '(special-block) t)
