hm, I recompiled org mode and found this warning:

Compiling /home/thomas/dev/elisp/orgmode/org-mode/lisp/org-table.el...

In org-table-align:
org-table.el:812:24:Warning: split-string called with 4 arguments, but 
accepts
     only 1-3

this might be related to my error ... line 812 in org-table.el:

    (split-string (buffer-substring beg end) "\n" t "[ \t]")))

My Emacs version is 24.3.50.1
