Nothing - there is a bug in org-table.el:org-table-clean-before-export
where the regexp that matches special chars in the first column (see

  (info "(org)Advanced features")

for the details) inadvertently matches "| | | | 3900|" and deletes the
first column. The regexp is set like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (let ((special (if maybe-quoted
		     "^[ \t]*| *\\\\?[\#!$*_^/ ] *|"
		   "^[ \t]*| *[\#!$*_^/ ] *|"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and in each case I think that the space inside the second [...] is
spurious.

So try this patch:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/lisp/org-table.el b/lisp/org-table.el
index d7ef615..864493e 100644
--- a/lisp/org-table.el
+++ b/lisp/org-table.el
@@ -447,8 +447,8 @@ available parameters."
   "Check if the table has a marking column.
 If yes remove the column and the special lines."
   (let ((special (if maybe-quoted
-		     "^[ \t]*| *\\\\?[\#!$*_^/ ] *|"
-		   "^[ \t]*| *[\#!$*_^/ ] *|"))
+		     "^[ \t]*| *\\\\?[\#!$*_^/] *|"
+		   "^[ \t]*| *[\#!$*_^/] *|"))
 	(ignore  (if maybe-quoted
 		     "^[ \t]*| *\\\\?[!$_^/] *|"
 		   "^[ \t]*| *[!$_^/] *|")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think it's OK for the non-quoted case, but I'm not sure
about the quoted case (maybe-quotes is t). If there are no
objections, I'll push it later on tonight.

Just to be sure: this is a bug, so it should be committed
to the maint branch and then a merge should be done onto master -
correct?
