Our understanding matches. For the sake of clarity, here it is:

For simple tables,
1. org-export-prefer-native-exporter-for-tables => Non-nil => Use the
   HTML code generator in table.el => HTML *source code* has Lots of
   &nbsp

2. org-export-prefer-native-exporter-for-tables => nil => Use Org's own
   code generator => HTML *source code* is easy to look at.

If I consult my patch, I see that the outputs I have included for the
simple table.el table (with both the on/off options for
org-export-prefer-native-exporter-for-tables) is consistent with what is
set forth in the previous paragraph.

May be you are exporting a different table.el table? Can you post your
example? With point within a simple table.el-table, the elisp form down
below should eval to false. Is it any different in your setting? 

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(let* ((dim (table-query-dimension))
       (c (nth 4 dim)) (r (nth 5 dim)) (cells (nth 6 dim)))
  (not (= (* c r) cells)))
#+end_src

It is possible that I have misunderstood how table-query-dimension API
works ...
