thank you for having a look.  You are right, but this looks like
something that goes a bit deeper than my current understanding, I'm
afraid.

Header lines don't appear to be marked in any way, but simply skipped
over before starting the formula calculation.  Consequently, the column
formula is evaluated for any header line when doing a C-c * directly in
the header, which might be considered a bug.  I won't touched this
aspect of the code since it will probably have farther reaching
consequences if changed.  I quickly hacked in some extra stuff that
looks for cross headers and skips them while the full table is updated —
but I'm not sure this is the right thing to do and the way the program
logic works requires me to check certain pathological cases twice, which
is a bit ugly.  I've just rebased against current master and pushed
everything back to the repo.

Sure, but I'd like to get it working correctly first. :-)

I'm using this code at work and things have gone smoothly, but I only
use the HTML backend and certainly don't exercise the full breadth of
the table functionality (obviously no column formulas were used by me,
for instance).

While testing I stumbled upon this: if a buffer has no undo information
associated, org-self-insert-command produces an error while trying to
edit the formula.  This code path may need to be protected against this
(admittedly rare) case, I've been triggering it while testing your
example directly in the gnus article buffer.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp t)
  cadr(t)
  (not (cadr buffer-undo-list))
  (and (> org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 0) buffer-undo-list (not (cadr buffer-undo-list)) (setcdr buffer-undo-list (cddr buffer-undo-list)))
  (if (>= org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 20) (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 1) (and (> org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 0) buffer-undo-list (not ...) (setcdr buffer-undo-list ...)) (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter (1+ org-self-insert-command-undo-counter)))
  (if (not (eq last-command ...)) (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 1) (if (>= org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 20) (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 1) (and ... buffer-undo-list ... ...) (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter ...)))
  (if org-self-insert-cluster-for-undo (if (not ...) (setq org-self-insert-command-undo-counter 1) (if ... ... ... ...)))
  (cond ((and org-use-speed-commands ...) (cond ... ... ... ...)) ((and ... ... ... ...) (let ... ... ... ... ...)) (t (setq org-table-may-need-update t) (self-insert-command N) (org-fix-tags-on-the-fly) (if org-self-insert-cluster-for-undo ...)))
