I am sorry but I cannot perform this test right now as I am overloaded
with daily work.  I am happy to investigate more when I can spare
time, hopefully soon.

Also the nature of this bug is a bit more elusive than I thought.  If
I kill current emacs and start it freshly the menu starts working
correctly.  It continue to work correctly but eventually stops
(entering the point into a table cell doesn't bring the table menu
item anymore).  I don't exactly know what "eventually" means
technically at this moment.
