I am assuming you are using the master/development version of Org from git?
If so, see this in ORG-NEWS:
*** =align= STARTUP value no longer narrow table columns
Columns narrowing (or shrinking) is now dynamic. See [[*Dynamically
narrow table columns]] for details. In particular, it is decoupled from
aligning.
If you need to automatically shrink columns upon opening an Org
document, use =shrink= value instead, or in addition to align:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
,#+STARTUP: align shrink
#+END_EXAMPLE

Wow! That's a very old version!
As you are making this big version upgrade, it would be worthwhile to go
through the whole of
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/etc/ORG-NEWS and make a note
of new features and few breaking changes since that version.
