Indeed. I have fixed this. We now pops `org-table-last-alignment' if
the first column has been removed by `org-table-clean-before-export'.
The same problem must have caused a one-off error when setting the
alignment in LaTeX tables, bu it seems nobody has noticed this so
far. Anyway, also this is fixed now.
Thanks to both of you!
