Here's one provisional attempt to fix one instance of weirdness, inside
`org-table-justify-field-maybe'. This handles re-justification of table
fields when you hit TAB or S-TAB. It turns out this spot doesn't use
text properties, but match-end/beginning locations. This patch Works For
Me, though it's a little ugly and I have no idea if it may cause other
repercussions. Could someone just glance over it?

Thanks,
Eric
