By "undoing" you mean M-x undo, and not M-x table-split-cell? But you
imply that table-split-cell also fails to work correctly?

OK.

It's not a question of ideology; it's a question of whether the
documentation is reliable. The text you cite encourages the belief
that the problem you encounter is in XEmacs by design, and apparently
discouraged you from reporting this as a bug until now. :-(
Whether we'll fix the behavior or the documentation, I can make no
promises at this point. But certainly we should do one or the other.
