Tested: 

In OpenOffice, create a small table with text in cells a1, a2, b1, b2, c2. 

Copy only the rows of the table. 

Paste into VE. 

* the view immediately in VE is of unusable information and some "+" characters
apparently indicating cell boundaries. 

Version:1.0StartHTML:0000000155EndHTML:0000000881StartFragment:0000000475EndFragment:0000000864➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞a1➞➞➞b1➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞➞a2➞➞➞b2➞➞➞c2➞➞➞

* the view in the "Review your changes" panel is of a swath of white space with
the contents of the table interspersed.

* User tendency is to copy entire contents of rows, yielding many empty cells. 
VE dutifully tracks these empty cells and displays an enormous number of "+"
symbols in the immediate view and mostly empty space in the "Review your
changes" view.

* Upon save, no table is in the page when pasting from OpenOffice.

Other anomalous results are reported when pasting from the Apple Pages
application.  From another user: 

"...number of cells didn't match the number of columns. Since they don't match,
tried to delete the cells in order to recover the blank page, but they won't
delete."
