I don't recall how I learned about that, I guess maybe in some library of
babel documentation somewhere. I confirmed it does work in 8.2.10, e.g.
just with emacs -Q.

There are a few changes in org 9 to org-babel-lob-execute-maybe
and org-babel-lob-get-info that seem to be the root cause of the change.
Notably, org-babel-lob-get-info now returns nil where it used to return the
"path" to the file and block.

So, if I put this into an org file

(progn
 (re-search-forward "call")
 (message "%s" (org-babel-lob-get-info)))   ;<- execute here


#+call: remote-call.org:test-block()

These get returned

In 8.2.10: "(remote-call.org:test-block() nil 0 nil)"
In 9.1.6: "nil"

I am not sure what all the differences are, but it seems to be where the
change in behavior came from.
