This problem does seem difficult to reproduce consistently.
Editing this to add new source discarded all edits:

#+begin_src c
#+end_src

Changing it to use "C" made it keep the edits:

#+begin_src C
#+end_src

However after changing the source block back to using "c", the problem did not 
return.

I've seen problems more consistently with shell script blocks:

#+begin_src shell-script
#+end_src

I'll try to produce a recipe that can consistently show this problem.
