This is a bug which must have been introduced some time ago - in the
stock version of emacs (Org-mode version 7.9.3f
(release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @
/usr/local/Cellar/emacs/24.3/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/)) it does not
tangle the enclosing commands to create graphics, but in 8.2 it does (I
don't have an older version at hand to go further back).

Yes.

There is nothing, as it should not be tangled. The enclosing commands
concern the export, but not tangling,
I agree that the :result graphics header argument caused commands should
not be in the tangled file.
Another question is about the :epilogue and :prologue which I think
should be present (haven't checked if they are...).
