I'm now using the following to tangle org-mode blocks, this will strip
all leading commas, and shouldn't cause any problems.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'org-babel-tangle-langs '("org" "org" nil t))
(org-babel-add-interpreter "org")
(defun org-babel-expand-body:org (body params &optional processed-params)
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert body)
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (while (re-search-forward "^," nil t)
      (replace-match ""))
    (buffer-string)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If the above proves insufficient in some way please let me know, and we
can try some more complicated solutions.
