This is a serious bug causing loss of data.

Recent messages on the org-mode mailing list suggest that this
issue may have been fixed upstream. If so, such changes have not
yet been merged back into emacs-24.

Starting from emacs -Q:

1) open an org-mode buffer "foo.org" and add:

#+begin_src c
#+end_src

2) With point on at the start of the '#+begin_src' line, type C-'
   (org-edit-special) to edit the content of the source block.
   this will open a window for another buffer "*Org Src foo.org[ c ]*".

3) Add some text to the "*Org Src foo.org[ c ]*" buffer and type C-'
   (org-edit-src-exit) to commit the changes back to the org file.
   The entire contents of the data block are lost.

4) Edit an existing non-empty source block in the same way, and all of
   the pre-existing content is lost.
