The change in behavior happened with 09f950723 (Added keybindings for
`org-table-move-cell-*' functions), which was a part of the v9.3
release.  Looking at that commit and scanning the associated thread [^],
I'm guessing the interaction with org-support-shift-select was simply
overlooked and those org-table-move-cell-* calls should be updated to
inspect org-support-shift-select, like (some of) the other neighboring
branches in the code.

I'll take a look at doing that tomorrow.

True.

Thanks for the report.
