Looks like the output is out of sync; the \multicolumn statement is missing
in the .tex-file, only the closing `}' is there.
...aren't there a bit too many `\n's in the `nice' LaTeX output?
There are a few other strange things with tables with multicolumn cells.
Yesterday I got a \multicolumn{N}{p{##}}{... (N: number, ##: a measure)
But the docs for LaTeX2e says the pos parameter for \multicolumn should be
one of c,r, or l ...? (hmm.. forgot how I got that now, maybe it is the
same bug: column count out of sync)
Another bug is that when copying a segment from a readonly document to a
scratch file, the Extra options is gone in the copy. (I haven't checked
if that goes for writable documents as well)
The user interface behaviour with multicolumn cells is a bit
confusing I think. :P (but it *is* a hack, so..)
