[O] question about :results scalar

[Robert McIntyre]

hi --- I'm working through the org manual and have run into a strange
problem with ":results scalar"

M-x org-version gives "Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.288.gcec8.dirty)".

I've made a code block using #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results scalar,
with the source just being '(1 2 3), but I get back an org-table
instead of the expected : (1 2 3). what am I doing wrong?

a minimal example file can be found here:
 https://gist.github.com/1034648

I also get the same thing when trying the stable Org-mode version 7.5.

sincerely,
