I'm not sure that the leading space is causing the problem.  Just in
case, I've committed a change to the Muse development source that
strips initial and trailing whitespace from table fields.

My best guess is that the problem is being caused by Planner's default
behavior of publishing Diary sections as if they were <verse> regions
(in order to preserve line breaks).  Since you're using table markup,
you probably don't want that to happen.  Just customize
planner-section-tagnames and remove the ("Diary" . "diary-section")
line to make Planner do nothing special for that section.
