possible bug in adding properties to headlines with no properties

possible bug in adding properties to headlines with no properties

[John Kitchin]

I noticed an undesirable behavior in setting a property on a headline
with no properties, but which contains a code block that generates
headlines with properties. When I try to set a property with C-c C-x p,
the property gets put in the wrong place (inside the code block). It is
a small issue, but I thought I would report. 

If the headline already has a PROPERTIES drawer then it seems to work fine.

Here is an example.

* bug in setting properties?
 <- put cursor here, C-c C-x p add property

The property goes in the code block below
 
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(format "** %s
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID: %s
  :END:
%s" "A headline" "some id" "some body text")
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: ** A headline
:   :PROPERTIES:
:   :ID: some id
:   :END:
: some body text

John,

When I do as you suggest, I get a prompt:

Malformed drawer at 348, repair? (y or n)

`348' was the bol for the first :PROPERTIES: line.

When I respond `y', a properties drawer is created under the headline and 
I get the usual prompts to complete the addition of a property.

In the end, it looks correct.

I get the same behavior with both current and older 8.3beta commits:

thanks for the note. I am still on 8.2.7, so it sounds like the issue is
fixed upstream of me. I look forward to getting there!
