A quick update on the solution I posted there.

Within the org-export-before-processing-hook, it seems like a "(goto-char
(point-min))" was always implied before? That's not the case any more.

So that goto-char now has to be added explicitly. This works now (as of Org
mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-726-gc71e93..)):

/Wondering if this change is expected through some series of changes in 9.x
../

=====
(defun mbrand/org-export-delete-commented-cols (back-end)
  "Delete columns $2 to $> marked as `<#>' on a row with `/' in $1.
If you want a non-empty column $1 to be deleted make it $2 by
inserting an empty column before and adding `/' in $1."
  (goto-char (point-min)) ;Only this added to the previous solution
  (while (re-search-forward
          "^[ \t]*| +/ +|\\(.*|\\)? +\\(<#>\\) *|" nil :noerror)
    (goto-char (match-beginning 2))
    (org-table-delete-column)
    (beginning-of-line)))
