Hi Eric,

I'm using

GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of 2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian
Org-mode version 6.36trans (release_6.36.587.gb482)

and I'm not seeing the behaviour you describe.  If I put the point in a
table field, then C-x C-b *scratch* RET and then move the point in the
scratch buffer and switch back to the original org-mode buffer point is
still in the table exactly where I left it.
