OK, found it.  It was in my .emacs which I didn't use for ages...

But:

  <colgroup><col align="right" /></colgroup><colgroup><col align="left" 
/></colgroup><colgroup><col align="left" /></colgroup>

must be:

  <colgroup><col align="right" /><col align="left" /><col align="left" 
/></colgroup>


i.e. "<colgroup>" and "</colgroup>" have to occur only once each and
wrap the "<col ... />" definitions.

The </colgroup> after each "<col ... />" happens only for the second
table.  The rest is just fine :)


Correct:

 |   | A   | B    |    C |
 |---+-----+------+------|
 |   | 1   | bar  | text |
 |   | 12  | test |  300 |
 |   | 9   | foo  |    4 |
 | / | <l> | <l>  |  <r> |


Wrong:

 |   |  A | B    | C    |
 |---+----+------+------|
 |   |  1 | bar  | text |
 |   | 12 | test | 300  |
 |   |  9 | foo  | 4    |
 | / | <> | <>   | <>   |


Thanks for the fix!
