Thank you for the fixes. However, the fix in 4914f89 does not work for
me. When I run it (type backspace) in a graphical Emacs I get:

user-error: This key has no function outside tables

When I run it in a terminal Emacs the command is not rebound at all.

Replacing [(del)] with (kbd "DEL") fixed the issue for me.

I believe I have figured out the issue for both problems:

a) orgtbl-self-insert-command wasn't updated along with
org-self-insert-command in the commit
73a5c27cc1751721344886e7518f20ff382265b5. Changing it accordingly fixes
the issue.


b) Backspace doesn't work in prog-derived modes as orgtbl-mode seems to
just remap delete-backward-char to orgtbl, but in prog modes backspace
is bound to backward-delete-char-untabify.

Perhaps something extra should be done about backspace in orgtbl-mode
instead of just a simple remapping?

Fixed. Thank you.

Oh, it seems like backspace works fine in text modes like
fundamental-mode and message-mode, but not prog-derived modes. I'd say
that's another bug.

A git bisect says that this commit by Bastien Guerry is the culprit:
f0a64ab3b5c46c8c7b1c838de2ed20511357e43d

Does anyone know why it also affects orgtbl-self-insert-command?

I'm afraid that as of org-20160516 on ELPA, backspace also does not
overwrite whitespace.
