Hi Russel,

no, I don't see a good way to fix this.  Just get used to use
the proper commands to insert new lines.  To make it easier to
add new lines at the end, try

(setq org-table-tab-jumps-over-hlines nil)

The TAB will create new lines before horizontal separator lines.
Judging from your own follow-up message, this might be all you need?
