Thanks Nicolas for that link.

It says that there is a known issue with hline references on the left side of 
table formulas, but I did not quite understand the details.

There seems to be a proposed fix by interpreting said references as ranges with 
the same on both sides, for example @II$2 would become @II$2..@II$2 and would 
then be interpreted properly. Was the issue with this fix that it does not work 
in all cases?

There also seems to be some counterintuitive use of these references that is 
useful to some people and included in the tests and fixing the issue would 
interfere with that use. If I said that right, could someone explain the 
details of this?

There was a mention that fixing the issue might involve rewriting much of 
org-table. Is that a concern?
