Additional info
Not sure whether this actually a bug or actually the solution for #265. However, this was not clear to me, so maybe this should at least be documented in the API description.

Start by reviewing the Tables API description and the PUT-row handling for the reproduction using columns A and B, then compare the behavior with issue #265. Done means the intended treatment of an omitted column is decided and either implemented with coverage or clearly documented in the API.
