Hi Carsten,
Actually, C-c C-c does work while <tab> does not work reliably. I was 
just trying out different emphasis markers. Bold was what was giving me 
problem today (* regexp) - <TAB> didn't work while C-c C-c worked. My 
customized ones seemed to work fine today. However I do distinctly 
remember them not working properly earlier.  Let me know if C-c C-c is 
the "recommended" method for reformatting tables...

I've also found my custom emphasis markers not working reliably on 
headlines. Sometimes, they will revert back to not being emphasized 
depending on the following headline's contents. Not sure if using 
emphasis markers on headlines is discouraged or not. If you like, I can 
document this better and send you more details on the type of actions 
that cause the formatting to break.

I've always been known to indulge in "corner" cases and using things on 
the bleeding edge, so things like this always happen to me :)

Thanks,
Jose
