Table width cookies become part of data table in R

Table width cookies become part of data table in R

[William Denton]

Up until recently, width cookies were ignored when reading a table into an R code block as data.  For example, take this test table:

#+name: test_table
|       Date | Weather              |
|       <10> | <50>                 |
|------------+----------------------|
| 2024-11-01 | Warm                 |
| 2024-11-02 | Warm                 |
| 2024-11-03 | Still strangely warm |

This code block turns it into a basic data table:

#+begin_src R :var t=test_table :colnames yes
t
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
|       Date | Weather              |
|------------+----------------------|
|       <10> | <50>                 |
| 2024-11-01 | Warm                 |
| 2024-11-02 | Warm                 |
| 2024-11-03 | Still strangely warm |

That first row, with "<10>", shouldn't be there.  It wasn't until recently, but I can't see anything in ORG-NEWS or git commits about why it might have started.  (I'm running from the development tree, updated just now.)

Is this a bug or am I missing something?
