Hi Tom,

Two quick hacks[1] below. It seems that some major modes (e.g. C) use
M-q for something sensible, whereas others (e.g. R) don't. I'm also an
M-q addict, but I guess I don't use it much in language major modes, so
I'll try using (1). With (2), you have to be happy with the (invisible)
excursion to the edit buffer and back, and any consequent changes to
your indentation, etc.

1. Do nothing on M-q in code block
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  (defun dan/org-fill-paragraph-no-op-maybe ()
    (interactive)
    (if (org-babel-where-is-src-block-head)
        (message "In code block: doing nothing")
      (call-interactively 'fill-paragraph)))
  
  (define-key org-mode-map "\M-q" 'dan/org-fill-paragraph-no-op-maybe)

2. Call native M-q
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  (defun dan/org-fill-paragraph-natively-maybe ()
    (interactive)
    (or (org-babel-do-key-sequence-in-edit-buffer "\M-q")
      (call-interactively 'fill-paragraph)))
  
  (define-key org-mode-map "\M-q" 'dan/org-fill-paragraph-natively-maybe)

Footnotes:

[1] E.g. `org-babel-where-is-src-block-head' may not be the "proper" way
    to detect if we're in a src block.
