Thanks for this workaround - this does exactly what I want.

I added =(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)= to my =.emacs= file, and
indeed I am not asked about evaluating the code block, but I'm still getting
the invalid syntax error when =org-babel-exp= is called the second time on
the =emacs-lisp= code block. I should mention that this is somewhere in the
byte-code, as the error is:
byte-code: Invalid read syntax: "#"
in the *Messages* buffer. I still don't fully understand why it should be
evaluating that code block twice.
