The following table
.TBL cols=3
.TR ".TD 1*2 .TD 2+3*2 colspan=2"
.ETB
wrongly gets:

+1*2---------------------------------------+2+3*2----------------+
while
.TBL cols=3
.TR
.TD 1*2
.TD 2+3*2 colspan=2
.ETB
gets it right:
| | |
+1*2-----------------+-2+3*2-------------------------------------+

hdtbl behaves right in both of your examples. The hdtbl-manpage says:
"If a macro has one or more arguments, and it is not starting a line, it
must be enclosed in double quotes." So you must write the second line of
the first example
.TR .TD 1*2 ".TD 2+3*2 colspan=2"
to get the expected result.
