Me too. While you may well be right that I have broken something, first
let's concentrate on what appears to be a long-standing bug; in fact I
think it has never worked correctly. Basic fontification of src blocks
elements was introduced over a year ago at this commit

commit 476493d3b300b8dc379ea7e42c974461d6f3dfb5
Author: Carsten Dominik <address@hidden>

    Fontification: Better treatment of #+ lines and blocks
    
    The content of blocks like #+begin_example will be marked with a
    separate face.  That same face is also used for single lines
    introducing text for specific backends.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Priot to that commit the whole block, and the begin_src end_src lines
had no special fontification. After that commit, a test file (below)
based on yours is not correctly fontified on startup. It is correctly
fontified when font-lock is triggered subsequently by some keyborad
input nearby. But it seems very sensitive to changes in the test file
and I haven't worked out what's going on.

Test file: the final code block is not fontified, nor are the BEGIN_SRC
and END_SRC lines. (emacs 24, org commit 476493d3b300 and subsequent)

* Setup
  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
    (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\|txt\\)$" . 
org-mode))
    (add-hook 'org-mode-hook
              '(lambda ()
                 (auto-fill-mode t)
                 (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "RET") 'org-return-indent)
                 (flyspell-mode 1)))
    
    
    ;; windmove fix
    (add-hook 'org-shiftup-final-hook 'windmove-up)
    (add-hook 'org-shiftleft-final-hook 'windmove-left)
    (add-hook 'org-shiftdown-final-hook 'windmove-down)
    (add-hook 'org-shiftright-final-hook 'windmove-right)
  #+END_SRC
** Helpers
  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
   (defun is-bogus-file-p (file)
     "Return t if file is a temporary file as in .#foo or a . .. reference 
returned by directory-files"
     (or (member file '("." ".."))
         (string-match "^.#.+" file)))
  #+END_SRC
* Customization
  #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (setq org-return-follows-link t
        org-special-ctrl-a/e t
        org-special-ctrl-k t
        org-completion-use-ido t
        org-log-into-drawer t
        org-startup-indented nil
        org-hide-leading-stars t
        org-startup-folded t
        org-empty-line-terminates-plain-lists t
        org-adapt-indentation t
        org-yank-folded-subtrees t
        org-M-RET-may-split-line nil
        org-enforce-todo-dependencies t
        org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies t)

  ;; (setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . always)
  ;;                                    (plain-list-item . always)))
  #+END_SRC
