Oh, not only does it make complete sense, but turns out that I had been
operating under the misassumption all this while that one `insert' call
amounts to one atomic change to the buffer (after concatenation of
arguments). I had to do a double take now when I tested that `(insert a
b)' is in fact two changes, oof. Shows the danger of such implicit
assumptions.

I can now also construct the table in a way that doesn't leave the
drawer structure broken at any point. Regardless, thanks for also
telling me about `org-fold-core-ignore-fragility-checks'.
