(I'm going through old Emacs bug reports that unfortunately got no
response at the time.)
I tried reproducing this, but I apparently have no such command as
`M-x insert-table'. What does it do?

Hi Lars,
My apologies, it was "table-insert," not "insert-table." It sets up
an ASCII table:

I had forgotten I filed this report!
Best Regards,

I think it's M-x table-insert now. I can reproduce this bug, FWIW.
Weirdly, too, the text takes a bit to appear although the cursor moves
forward.

Ah, thanks. I've never used this before...

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.

I've now fixed this in Emacs 29.
