Indeed, a space before the caret was not allowed in LaTeX export

Indeed, and this commit pops `org-table-last-alignment' if the first
column has been removed by `org-table-clean-before-export'. The same
problem must have caused a one-off error when setting the alignment in
LaTeX tables, bu it seems nobody has noticed this so far. Anyway,
also this is fixed now.
A `save-excursion' around a call to org-table-align make point end up
*before* the table. The reason is that a table align replaces the
entire table, including the newline before it. When the table is
removed in order to be replaced, the marker created by
`save-excursion' slips. `org-table-align' has it's own, built-in
`save-excursion' by remembering the line and column where the cursor
was before the align.

This commit fixes the issue.
`org-export-latex-first-lines' was rather stupid and would
discard the end of the region with the region was active.
Thanks to Holst Thomas for this bug report.
