Bad cooperation between \unit and TABLE

Bad cooperation between \unit and TABLE

[Tomas Hala]

Hi all,

I came across the problem with bad aligment of cells in natural tables
(longer MWE below):

When I use \unit for better typesetting of units, lines 6, 6a, 8 and 9
are sloppy-aligned -- first, the alignmentcharacter is ignored,
secondly the very huge space appears between e.g. m and 2. It seems 
that it happens at any time when the exponent in any form is required.

Moreover, the line 11 is also sloppy-aligned as a consequence of the
use of \unit|\high commands because if the line 2a is active, the 
alignment position is computed properly and the line 11 is ok.

Is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Best wishes,

Tomáš
