Org tries to guess what the alignment should be: columns with numbers
will be right-aligned; with text they will be left-aligned.  Maybe org
did a count and decided this was a text column after all once you added
the new row.

You can specify the actual alignment by using <r> in a separate row,
e.g.:

|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| 1         | Text      |             2 |
|           |           |           <r> |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
| Some text | Some more | And even more |
|-----------+-----------+---------------|
