The case-fold-search problem is in
org-src.el:org-edit-src-code. case-fold-search is let-bound to t, but
the let form evaluates all the VARLIST forms before evaluating the body,
so the very next varlist

        (case-fold-search t)
        (info (org-edit-src-find-region-and-lang))
        ...

fails because in its evaluation, case-fold-search is still nil.

The solution is to use a let* form instead: just change the let on line
216 to a let*.

I think this will cure the other problem too: org-edit-special checks
for various things and if any of them succeed it skips the rest. The
behavior you get is the "everything else failed, let's call ffap".
But now since the org-edit-src-code call will (famous last words)
succeed, then it won't fall through.
