When editing this block with C- '

+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :lexical t :tangle elisp.el
  (defvar *a-var* "blah")
  (defun v()
    (interactive)
    *a-var*)
#+END_SRC

On return it adds a , before the *a-var*

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :lexical t :tangle elisp.el
(defvar *a-var* "blah")
(defun v()
  (interactive)
  ,*a-var*)
#+END_SRC

This happens in a clean emacs started the -q flag, so it should not have
anything to do with my configuration.
