Great workarounds! I didn't think of those.

I don't find this particularly puzzling: you have two merged cells 
across four rows of your table, not two cells in two rows.  The only 
reason you would merge cells instead of simply enlarging them is that 
you want to retain the separate cells in other columns.  The rows are 
still there and are still taken account of in numbering.

>Workarounds?

Yes:
o Number the rows manually.
o Create a table of two rows; nest other tables of one column and two 
rows each in the cells of the right column.
o Create separate tables for each column with appropriate numbers and 
heights of rows.  You may be helped by frames or by multiple columns 
in your page or in a section.

I trust this helps.
