thanks for taking this up!  But I am not sure, whether I like the
current implementation too much.  Instead of saving the org-file itself,
I'd prefer the org-file to be auto-saved.  More importantly, the current
implementation prevents me from discarding the edit with the new C-c C-k
(org-edit-src-abort).

I am not sure how to overcome those limitations (especially the second
one), though.  So I fear, I won't be able to provide a patch
implementing my preferred behaviour.

Andreas
