So, it seems to me that fixing "our most embarrassing bug" is going to require doing something that maybe ought to have been done before, namely, introducing an InsetTableCell that will contain a pointer (or reference) to the associated CellData. Doing that much is near trivial---InsetTableCell itself will override but a handful of InsetText's methods---but I'm guessing this pointer will need updating whenever the cell is copied or, at least, whenever the CellData is copied. So one possibility here would be to write copy (and assignment?) constructors for CellData. Is there any easier way to do this than manually to copy all of the member data?

Here's another possibility. s/CellData/CellInfo/g, and then:
class CellInfo {
CellData cell_data_;
InsetTableCell itc_;
CellInfo(CellInfo const & ci) {
cell_data_ = ci.cell_data;
itc_ = ci.itc_;
itc_.cellDataPtr = cell_data_;
}
etc.
}
A handful of other changes, too, of course, but the idea obviously is to wrap the data and associated inset in the CellInfo class and then deal with the copy constructor more easily.

Will the InsetTableCell show up in the cursor as another slice? Or is it just to get some functionality from InsetText?

Right now, each cell has an associated InsetText that contains the cell's data. It's a member of CellData, and the table itself represents its cells as a vector<CellData>. So not that much would actually be changing in the code; the idea is just to replace the InsetText that is already there with an InsetTableCell that would contain a pointer back to the associated CellData, so we can find out, in particular, whether our width has been explicitly set or is still default.

That might not be the idea solution, long term. I don't know nearly enough about the tabular code even to have an opinion about that.
