Confirmed, it works correctly for me now.

FWIW, I wouldn't mind if this were a global minor mode, I intend to
activate it globally with `org-table-header-line-p'.

Since updating and testing for a few minutes, I haven't noticed this
issue anymore. However, I have noticed a new bug, where the header line
randomly gets "stuck" on some row of the table, so even when I scroll
and that row is no longer on top of the buffer, that row is still
replaced by the header line.

This bug happens infrequently, and I haven't figured out how to
consistently reproduce yet. I noticed this happening when I was
scrolling up and down many times past the same table, and also switching
themes.

Thanks. The default face looks great on light-themed backgrounds like
leuven, but is hard to read on some dark-themed backgrounds like
tsdh-dark or zenburn, due to their light text. While this could be left
to the user or individual themes to fix, it'd be nice if it worked out
of the box for the common dark themes. Maybe the simplest solution would
be to set both the background and foreground colors in the default face?
