I don't know about the other comments (line numbers, etc.) but at least the link calculation in org-babel-tangle-collect-blocks is wrong I believe: it uses org-store-link to supposedly store a link to the current location on the global org-stored-links stack and then pops it, takes the car of it and sanitizes text properties of the result: that then becomes the link that should be stored in the tangled file. But it seems that org-store-link does not behave this way when called non-interactively: I get nothing on the global stack. Instead it seems to *return* the link as a string, which is then just thrown away. One can argue that org-store-link is wrong to behave this way[fn:1] but I will let Eric and Carsten fight it out :-) Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] assuming that it *does* behave this way and I am not fooling myself.
