Hello List,
I'm running here the maint branch of Org-Mode (8.2.7c). I installed it
with git.
I tried to export this table to latex:
#+TBLNAME: Test
#+ORGTBL: SEND Test orgtbl-to-latex :skip 1 :splice t
| | A | B |
|---+------+------|
| | 6 | 2 |
| | 4 | 9 |
|---+------+------|
| _ | suma | sumb |
| | 10 | 11 |
#+TBLFM: $suma=vsum(@I..@II)::$sumb=vsum(@I..@II)
and got the following result:
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL Test
\hline
& 6 & 2 \\
& 4 & 9 \\
\hline
$\backslash$$_$ & suma & sumb \\
& 10 & 11 \\
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL Test
as you can see the first column of the table is exported to latex.
Normally columns with marking characters are *not* exported to latex. Is
this a bug?
Thanks in advance!

Can't reproduce it either with 8.2.7c or with latest. I get

Sorry - disregard that. I didn't test with radio tables, I just did a
straight export. I'll try radio tables later.

the attached file is a showing the latex code after the export from
orgtbl -- see the result, I made some small comments on it...

Yes, not only can I reproduce it, I bisected it and (surprise!) the
bisection fingered commit 79873390edd26a44cefc2050c7af470a7ed8fd07: my
"fix" to your previous complaint:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/88634
I'll take another look at org-table-clean-before-export.

OK - I have taken a closer look and I think my "fix" was wrong: I'm
going to revert it.
That will of course restore the previous behaviour where a first column
that's empty is deleted on export. There is an argument to be made that
that is "correct" behaviour: first, both the original version and
Achim's rewrite implement that behaviour, but also the relevant section
of the manual (section 3.5.10, Advanced Features) which lists the
special first column characters includes <space> among them.
That leaves the somewhat counterintuitive case of a completely empty
first column which is therefore deemed special and gets stripped. This
could be "fixed" as a special case but instead I propose to document that
behaviour in the above section, with a suggested workaround: if you
really, really want an empty first column, then add a second one.
WDYT?

An empty first column shouldn't be considered as special. "ox.el"
handles this case fine (see `org-export-table-has-special-column-p').
This is not the case yet for radio tables.
Note that the goal is to use "ox.el" in radio tables.

OK - I'll special-case it in org-table-clean-before-export then for now.

this is a programming problem, which exceeds by far my horizons, so I
can not say much about this, it was just important for me to point out
the problem, sorry, I think here I can not help ..... but of course I
can live with your solution no matter what it looks like...

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.
