Excellent --- I'm glad that the interaction with emacs-lisp is straightened out!
I've been continuing working with source blocks and the same problem seems to be present with clojure interaction.
#+begin_src clojure :exports both :results scalar
(ns whatever)
(defn works? [] true)
#+end_src
#+results:
| function | whatever/works? |
The clojure repl would normally output the text
"#'whatever/works?"
but this is being converted into an org-mode table, ignoring the :results scalar declaration.
futrhermore, the same test with emacs-lisp also fails as in this example
#+begin_src clojure :results scalar
'(1 2 3)
#+end_src
#+results:
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
also, although :results scalar still works, :results verbatim does not work quite yet for emacs-lisp
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results scalar
;;(debug t nil)
'(1 2 3)
#+end_src
#+results:
: (1 2 3)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results verbatim
;;(debug t nil)
'(1 2 3)
#+end_src
#+results:
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
M-x org-version returns:
Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.414.g56de5.dirty)
Thank you so much for your prompt attention to my last comments!

Hi Rob,
Thanks for pointing this out. The emacs-lisp interaction is so simple
we apparently never implemented checks which are routine in other
languages. I just pushed up a fix to the git repository so the
":results scalar" header argument combination should now be respected
for emacs-lisp.
Thanks -- Eric
