Thanks for this.

But besides the technical reason of the $visible element being part of
.Last.value from a sourced statement, I guess my question is whether it
is intended to be there.

As I take it, it is.  Thus, ess/orgmode -- which relies on .Last.value
for results handling and does not expect that $visible element -- should
adapt and ignore that explicitly?

Andreas
