Good.  As it should.

But there is no need for such a line as bibtex src blocks cannot be
evaluated.  org babel makes no sense in this case.

This will be a bibtex-mode issue, not an org issue?  Does it font lock
correctly if you edit the src block in bibtex mode?

Just to say that I use bibtex src blocks a lot but I also use the
functionality found in ol-bibtex.el for creating bib files from org
properties.
