I think this is really really hard.  Basically, I would have to change
all places where Org-mode inserts newlines that should be hard.

Hmmm, maybe all newlines that org-mode inserts during internal commands 
should be hard?

In this case, a brute-force solution might do the trick.  This is not 
well tested,
but it does make tables work as long as they are not broader than fill 
column:

(defadvice insert (around make-org-mode-newlines-hard activate)
  "Make sure all org-mode functions insert hard newlines."
  (if (and (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
           (boundp 'longlines-mode) longlines-mode
           (equal "org-" (substring (symbol-name this-command) 0 4)))
      (let ((_beg (point)))
        ad-do-it
        (longlines-decode-region _beg (point)))
    ad-do-it))

(defadvice insert-before-markers (around make-org-mode-newlines-hard 
activate)
  "Make sure all org-mode functions insert hard newlines."
  (if (and (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
           (boundp 'longlines-mode) longlines-mode
           (equal "org-" (substring (symbol-name this-command) 0 4)))
      (let ((_beg (point)))
        ad-do-it
        (longlines-decode-region _beg (point)))
    ad-do-it))
