Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.

When running 'org-babel-tangle-clean on this buffer:

>>

[[file:foo][something]]

<<test me one >>
[[file:bar][something else]]

<<test me>>

>>

I get

>>
<<test me one >>
>>


Given the code of that function -- especially the (while (or -- it's highly
unlikely that that code does what the docstring says it does. I'm also not
clear on why you'd want to remove noweb references.
