User:NicoV at the English Wikipedia reports:
*In [[The Drover's Boy]], if you put the cursor just before the table and hit Del, the first title (Song title) is put outside the table while Performes becomes the first title.
*I saw this because I tried to insert a template just before the table, then deleted it => an empty line was visible before the table. When trying to delete this empty line, the first title was put outside the table.

I did some more testing and can confirm that:
*Pressing delete after the last character before a table deletes the first cell and moves the contents out of the table, and moves the second cell (including formatting) to the former position of the first cell. The position of the second cell is replaced with a blank cell.
*The same happens when pressing backspace before the first character of the first cell
*After repeating this sufficient times the contents of the last cell on the first line is moved out of the table and the line deleted.
*Pressing delete after the last character in the last cell, or backspace before the first character after the last cell, moves the whole of the next line (or title) into the last cell of the table, preserving formatting and links, etc.
