I was able to reproduce the bug. Windows 8 Thunderbird 45.1 .
Created a new mail. Inserted a table. Sent email.

It works if you set the Delivery Format to HTML

If you have the delivery format set to Auto, HTML or "Both" (plain text and HTML), then the table will be correctly sent.

If of course you force the delivery format to plain text, as seems to have happened in attachment 8754482 [details], the the table is lost.
