I just checked, it doesn't happen in an actual elisp buffer, but every time in a standard .org file. It'll always throw a 'Lisp error: (scan-error "Unbalanced parentheses")'.
You might rightly say that evaluating lisp code directly in an org-mode code block might not be the best idea, I just don't expect it to mostly work but mess up the syntax depending on comments.
Interesting. I frequently write Common Lisp code in org blocks and execute from there, but not Emacs Lisp. And I don't have emacs on my phone so I can't test it. Can you copy a sample org file here?
