I believe I have figured out the issue for both problems: a) orgtbl-self-insert-command wasn't updated along with org-self-insert-command in the commit 73a5c27cc1751721344886e7518f20ff382265b5. Changing it accordingly fixes the issue. b) Backspace doesn't work in prog-derived modes as orgtbl-mode seems to just remap delete-backward-char to orgtbl, but in prog modes backspace is bound to backward-delete-char-untabify. Perhaps something extra should be done about backspace in orgtbl-mode instead of just a simple remapping?
