This problem seems to be caused by the use of '#+header', so with

,------------------------
| #+name: test
| #+header: :file out.txt
| #+begin_src sh
| echo blah
| #+end_src
`------------------------

I get the above error, but with

,-----------------------------
| #+name: test
| #+begin_src sh :file out.txt
| echo blah
| #+end_src
`-----------------------------

I don't.
