I cannot replicate this. Take the following subtree:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Essays
** Essay One
Some text.
** Essay Two
Some special text.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

With the latest org from git, if I press "C-c C-e 1 h" while the cursor
is on (or under) the Essay Two headline, the html output looks like
this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Essay Two

Some special text.
