Your description of line numbering in tables did not describe how you are using 
those numbers.  My writing group uses a paragraph tag set that we named 
CellNumbered1 and CellNumbered.  
We are on FrameMaker-9 with Windows-7.

The critical part of building of the Autonumber Format is as follows:

C:<n=1>.\t
and
C:<n+>.\t

I tested these just now with three successive tables.  I added CellNumbered1 to 
the top cell of a column and then added 
CellNumbered to several cells below in the same column and in multiple columns 
within a table.

I continued the CellNumbered tag in the following table.

In the third table, I returned to the use of CellNumbered1 to the top cell of a 
column and CellNumbered to several cells below.

The numbering of the paragraphs was as expected whether the additional 
paragraphs were within a cell or in separate cells.  The numbering continued 
across tables and was restarted as expected.

If your requirements are different, perhaps you could give more details of your 
needs.
