Notwithstanding this case, if `org-element-at-point' returns
`special-block', you /know/ that you are either on block boundaries
(#+begin_special or #+end_special) or on any affiliated keyword above,
but /never/ within the block.

If `org-element-at-point' returns `special-block' here, you create an
exception, which you have to handle later on.

Besides, the truly empty contents are

  #+begin_special
  #+end_special

therefore, I'm not shocked if

  #+begin_special
  
  #+end_special

is a special block with an empty paragraph instead.
