First time I used edebug! Great experience :-)

OK, so I guess I nailed it down to the line which goes wrong:

«org-edit-special» is defined in «org.el»:

The line «(case (org-element-type element)» does not result
positively. Instead, it results to:

Result: (paragraph (:begin 182 :end 188 :contents-begin 182
:contents-end 188 :post-blank 0 :post-affiliated 182 :parent
(special-block (:type "HTML" :begin 169 :end 200 :hiddenp nil
:contents-begin 182 :contents-end 188 :post-blank 1 :post-affiliated
169 :parent nil)))) 

This way, the main routines are not executed. Instead, the line «(if
(eq (org-element-type...» gets evaluated next.

In short: «#+BEGIN_HTML» is not of element type «element» and thus
ignored by «org-edit-special».

I hope, I did not misinterpret the debugging result.

In case my interpretation is correct, it still seems to be a bug of
Org-mode and not my setup. So why does your setup work properly?
