As far as I understand, the effect also occurs when the block has a
common indentation. Below are the steps:

With this settings:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp -i :results silent
(setopt org-adapt-indentation nil
        org-src-preserve-indentation nil
        org-edit-src-content-indentation 2)
#+end_src
And with POINT after "?" and typing ENTER (wait more than 1 second
for automatic indenting of 2 spaces), I can type parentheses with
some sort of common indentation like below:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  ;; common indentation?
  (())
  (())
  (())
#+end_src
When I place POINT in the middle of the lowest parentheses and
type ENTER, then everything moves 2 spaces to the right like below:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
    ;; common indentation?
    (())
    (())
    ((
      ))
#+end_src
I think, this is different of what you are saying.

Looking at the code, I inferred that I can kill this behavior
with the `-i' switch, and that works.
