Hi Scott,

this has to do with the fact that these searched create a view
as compact as possible, and do not unhide the headline after
a matching line.  So this leave an invisibility overlay just after the  
exposed headline and table.  The TAB causes a table-realignment, and  
the process of deleting and resinserting the table then causes problems.

I have fixed this problem now, but watch out for other related issues.
One way to avoid these inconsistent states it to turn on `org-show- 
following-heading'.

HTH
