I don't know. The spec has no rule for it. The text of section 20.383 is:
The style:use-optimal-column-width attribute specifies that a column width
should be recalculated automatically if content in the column changes.
The defined values for the style:use-optimal-column-width attribute are:
    • false: column width should not be recalculated automatically if content
in the column changes.
    • true: column width should be recalculated automatically if content in the
column changes.

The current behavior in UI in LibreOffice is to adjust the total width of the
table; and in case the total width would have to be enlarged but that is not
possible, the command is ignored.
