Hi Livin,
As far as I know, orgmode does not support multi-line cells.
The example table you provided contains 7 rows (+ formatting at top)
plus 2 h-lines ("horizontal separator").
h-lines separate table sections (e.g. headings from contents).
In this context, the behaviour you are reporting with M-a and M-e is
correct.
Regards,
.j.
