A table with few vertically merged cells was pasted from HTML page into writer and successfully stored in .odf file. No problems with merged cells in odt format.
When this document (to be attached ) was saved in rft (as well as in DOC - MS word for XP etc) - the table with merged cells was in trouble. Either Fault and recovery attempt, or just loosing the merging info.
  Oh, no way to attach file here.. Create a 3 columns X 7 rows table, merge 2 top cells in right column, and all 5 other cells in right column. Enter some text, save on odt - OK.
Save in rtf, close and re-open file - cells are not merged.

I hope this file will help to reproduce and fix.
