I can reproduce the bug in Emacs 27, and looking at the code in
`table--cell-insert-char', it's just not used when inserting a
character -- even if the mode is on, words are never broken.
The code has been substantially rewritten over the years, and my guess
is that one of the rewrites made the code that actually did the
fixed-width-mode went missing, but finding what commit did this is
rather difficult.
