  This is a problem with the -me macros as far as I can tell as the
exact same tbl with spanned headers works fine under -mm. I find
that with -me if the tbl does not have vertical lines in it (no box, etc.)
it will work. I posted this same question just several weeks ago.
As I don't have the time to work it out, nor commented -me macros,
I do my tables with mm, adjusting the page counts as required and
inserting them into the final document. 

I would be very interested if you find a solution (some fixed macros)
or if there is a new release of the me macros (We have 2.28 with
local mods).
