This is now fixed in Emacs 28.1.

Eli, I think the fix should be safe for Emacs 27.1, too, but I've been
out of the loop and I'm not sure what the status is at the moment.  This
isn't exactly a critical bug -- rowspan isn't used that much these days,
and it's a very old bug.

On the other hand, I think it's a pretty safe fix to add, so should I
cherry-pick it for Emacs 27.1?
