I disagree. If we allow to insert macro-like text in the table, it will
become active in the generated table and will, sooner or later, generate
an undefined macro error anyway.

Yes, an error is thrown, but

  #+RESULTS: foo
  |    foo    |
  | {{{bar}}} |

is as cheesy. See above.

Macros are a very special kind of datum in Org. Luckily, their syntax is
awkward so you're unlikely to create one unwillingly. How common is your
example?

Actually, my advice doesn't stand. ":raw t" is not sufficient to prevent
macro expansion, which happens at the beginning of the export process.
