Andrea's kludge works for me.  My understanding is that only a C-c C-c
in the TBLFM would actually update the table.

Looking at the documentation at 

http://orgmode.org/manual/References.html#References

again, I would have expected

@I+1$3

to be a correct way of referring to the 3rd column in the row after the
first hline, rather than the entire row.   It is unclear
to me what 

@I$3

as I used in my example above should correspond to.

Cheers,

Loris
