It seems to me it's a bug in the documentation.
Currently, column names are not allowed in the LHS (Left Hand Side) of
the formula ('org-table-get-stored-formulas' assumes it). Although I'm
not sure why.
In other words, you'll need to use the real column number
for the column that holds the results. This should work:
| ! | c1 | c2 | c3 |
|---+----+----+----|
| # | 1 | 4 | 3 |
| # | 3 | 10 | 7 |
#+TBLFM: $3 = $c1 + $c2
