(Apologies for sending this from gmail, my mail setup was not working
with the -Q option in emacs.)
A table in which a first column begins with square brackets is not
compiling. The square bracket is interpreted by latex as an argument
to the preceding line break.
Example org table:
| Input | Output |
|--------+--------|
| [1, 2] | {3, 4} |
| [5, 6] | null |
When exported to a PDF ( C-c C-e l o), I expect that the PDF to be rendered
with the brackets in the table as shown in org.
Instead, the result is a latex compilation error. The brackets are being
interpreted as length arguments to the preceding line break.
This is a relevant Stack Exchange issue (for pure latex) which suggests
some possible solutions.

with square bracket in table]]
To test, emacs was started with =emacs -q= to not load an init file.

Confirmed
Thank you for reporting the issue. Example of a workaround

To fix the bug newline (in tables and paragraphs) should be exported as
"\\\relax" or "\\{}". I do not suggest curly brackets in the beginning
of line to avoid issues with spurious spaces. Percent character
(comment) at the end of line should be considered for a fix since it is
usually used in the opposite way: to suppress newline character and
spaces at the beginning of next source line.
