Dear Jobst,
one more thing: On the TeX Live mailing list Qing Lee send a fix:
**********************8
It seems that listings used brace trick in a wrong way since 2014/03/04 v1.5c:
...
% \lstthanks{Luc~Van~Eycken}{luc.vaneyc...@esat.kuleuven.be}{2014/01/22}
% reported, that the experimental implementation of |\lstinline| with
% braces instead of characters surrounding the source code resulted in an
% error if used in a tabular environment. He found that this error comes
% from the master counter (cf. appendix D (Dirty Tricks), item 5. (Brace
% hacks), of the TeXbook (p. 385-386)). Adding the following line remedies
% the wrong behaviour.
A quick fix is
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\lstinline[1][]{%
\leavevmode\bgroup % \hbox\bgroup --> \bgroup
\def\lst@boxpos{b}%
\lsthk@PreSet\lstset{flexiblecolumns,#1}%
\lsthk@TextStyle
\ifnum\iffalse{\fi`}=\z@\fi
\@ifnextchar\bgroup{%
\ifnum`{=\z@}\fi%
\afterassignment\lst@InlineG \let\@let@token}{%
\ifnum`{=\z@}\fi\lstinline@}}
\makeatother

Hope that helps
