I can confirm this is working now.

Sure. Let's start with following tables and Org-mode version 8.0-pre
(release_8.0-pre-144-g855dcf @ /home/ov/p/org-mode/lisp/):
#+TITLE: Nutrition Facts
#+CONSTANTS: b=100.0 j=4.182
#+TBLNAME: nf
| Product | kJ | kcal |
|-----------+------+------|
| Bread | 1372 | 328 |
| Butter | 3054 | 730 |
| Marmalade | 926 | 221 |
#+TBLFM: $3=$2/$j;%.0f
| Product | g | kJ | kcal |
|-----------+------+------+------|
| Bread | 50.6 | 658 | 157 |
| Butter | 11.5 | 150 | 36 |
| Marmalade | 19.7 | 256 | 61 |
|-----------+------+------+------|
| | | 1064 | 254 |
#+TBLFM: $3='(* $2 (/ (org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(nf,@I$1..@II$1))
'(remote(nf,@I$2..@II$2))) $b));N%.0f::$4=$3/$j;%.0f::@>$3..$4=vsum(@I..II)
I'm reapplying formulas by pressing `C-c C-c' on the hash mark of the
format line. The expected results are:
| Product | g | kJ | kcal |
|-----------+------+------+------|
| Bread | 50.6 | 694 | 166 |
| Butter | 11.5 | 351 | 84 |
| Marmalade | 19.7 | 182 | 44 |
|-----------+------+------+------|
| | | 1227 | 294 |
Let's take this apart:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(values (* 50.6 (/ 1372 100.0))
(* 11.5 (/ 3054 100.0))
(* 19.7 (/ 926 100.0)))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
| 694.2320000000001 | 351.21 | 182.422 |
I was bitten myself by setting `b=100', which is an integer and led to
the wrong result. But Org-mode still calculates as if `b' were an
integer. But even replacing `$b' with `100.0' still gives wrong results
(second and third line):
| Product | g | kJ | kcal |
|-----------+------+------+------|
| Bread | 50.6 | 694 | 166 |
| Butter | 11.5 | 158 | 38 |
| Marmalade | 19.7 | 270 | 65 |
|-----------+------+------+------|
| | | 1122 | 269 |
#+TBLFM: $3='(* $2 (/ (org-lookup-first $1 '(remote(nf,@I$1..@II$1))
'(remote(nf,@I$2..@II$2))) 100.0));N%.0f::$4=$3/$j;%.0f::@>$3..$4=vsum(@I..II)
