Since there appears to be some activity on this issue, I wish to point out that,
for my first Eclipse/Java project, I have created a program that reads an ODT
file with embedded ODS objects which I have created and outputs a text file in
the format I prefer.

I do not claim that this will work with any arbitrary ODT/ODS file (I am quite
certain it will not) or that the choices I made for formatting the text file are
correct for general use; however, I would be willing to provide the (Java)
source if there is any interest in it. I suspect, however, that those who work
with OOo code do not need it.

To be honest, having created this program, I don't see any pressing need for
this issue to be fixed. For one thing, working on the program revealed how much
effort might be required; for another, I have a solution that works fine for me.

I would like to reiterate and expand on a prior conclusion:

the most direct way to do this would be to add a new "Paste Special" option:
text using spaces rather than tabs

the current "Text" option could be renamed "Text (tabs)" and the new one "Text
(spaces)".

That, I suspect, would be sufficient: if the table columns are lined up with
spaces, then export text should reproduce that spacing and that alignment.
