Side-remark: I find it weird, if not uncorrect, to have the header argument
":session" empty. IIRC, this is, at best, dangerous, because it could
interpret what follows as its value.

Yes, a lot of changes have been made in Org 8. This is for good, even if the
switch can be somewhat painful.

Not really. Please well think that there are two different beasts here: the
code block and the results block. You can export both, and you could attach
(different) captions to both. So, that does not seems that illogical to me.

Can you provide an ECM for this?

Confirmed, in a 1-min test. Though, I had the impression that captions were
handled in ox-html. To be further checked.
