I believe it's because of the dummy "calculation-mark" column,
which is not exported. However, the variable org-table-last-alignment
(a list, whose length becomes the value of the \multicolumn argument)
ends up having the value (nil nil nil nil), i.e. it counts the dummy
column as well. What the proper place to adjust the value is, I don't
know, but it should be easy for Carsten to fix it. For the time being,
you can either get rid of the dummy row and column (e.g. if you don't
need the widths) or fix it by hand in the LaTeX file.
