I'm just back from a 20km hike and in the woods my mind came up with a
silly question ;). This empty line, that we see between the table above
and the formula, does that exist in your real Org file? If so, and if
the point is on the formula when you press C-cC-c, the table doesn't
change, i.e., the error mark doesn't go away even if the formula is
correct.
