    This example, which exhibits the same problem I reported earlier, is
    identical to your correctly working version except that the order of
    CLIM:FORMATTING-CELL and CLIM:UPDATING-OUTPUT is reversed.  Why does
    that make a difference?  What are the ordering rules for CLIM
    constructs?

The ordering rule is that UPDATING-OUTPUT should go outside of the atomic
thing you wish to update.  In the current implementation of table
formatting (and in DW, for that matter), you should think of
FORMATTING-CELL as atomic.  Thus, UPDATING-OUTPUT should go outside of it.
