There is some good discussion in the linked OOo bug report on this.
Paraphrasing fyva...
> For tables with merged cells, there are no columns or rows, there are only
> cells. When you select a few cells and click "delete row" or "delete column",
> you can't delete neither a row nor a column (there are no rows, no columns),
> you can either delete the whole table or merge the cells with right, left,
> upper or lower cells, by your choice, because each cell have a lot of adjacent
> cells. This gets really complicated.
