It's not so common to see a table in a vertically formatted text. I've
tried to find the definition first from "Requirements for Chinese Text
Layouts."
Unfortunately there is nothing about it there. I've found a physical book
and a document to see how the tables are used. Both have headers on the
right side of the page. I think that Writer performs correctly. Tables are
rotated 90 degrees clockwise. ( i.e. the second row is at the left of the
first row, the second column is below the first column. )

Contrarily, MS Word is awkward. If you set the text flow to vertical,
insert a table,  change the design of the table so that it paints the
background of the header, the top most part ( can't be sure if it's a row
or a column ) is painted. But this test is rough. It will be better to find
more examples.

I've found an old Chinese dictionary with three columns.
The second column is below the first one. Writer seems to act correctly to
me.
