This behavior is controlled globally by the value of
`org-babel-default-header-args'. This is overriden by the value of
`org-babel-default-header-args:{lang}' and of course, the setting on
individual source blocks and call lines. As you can see from the below
output, the default is =:hlines no=. Note that in versions of org-mode
prior to commit 6857d139 of 2013-09-28 (below), this was overridden in
the setting of `org-babel-default-header-args:emacs-lisp, so this may
be why you are seeing and "inconsistency" between the call line and
the emacs-lisp source block.

If you want hlines to be included by default, you can modify the value
of `org-babel-default-header-args'.

I have attached an org file i have been working on to see the results
of various settings of =colnames= and =hlines= on table evaluation in
various languages, you may find it useful.

set default emacs-lisp header args to nil

The difference between elisp and every other language was causing
confusion, so simpler just to set these to nil.

* lisp/ob-emacs-lisp.el (org-babel-default-header-args:emacs-lisp):
Set to nil.
