As Nicolas pointed out, I can't get away with just documenting the
behaviour, so I plan to:

o revert the previous patch - that will make your latest example work,
  but it will break your previous example (but you can work around it
  for now by adding an extra empty column 1). I'll do the revert
  tonight.

o then (probably this weekend) work on special-casing the empty column
  case in org-table-clean-before-export, which will get rid of the
  necessity of using the workaround above.
