Just to mention: Although "_" is the subscript operator that takes the
nth vector element in Calc, I don't mind the change since the formula
below that uses "$vector_1" did also not work before the change
probably because some other regexp to parse the field name already
included "_". And the alternative formula with "subscr($vector, 1)"
seems to be syntactically more robust/flexible/clear/etc. anyway.

|   | [x y]  | x | x | #ERROR | x |
| ^ | vector |   |   |        |   |
#+TBLFM: @<$3 = $2_1 :: @<$4 = subscr($2, 1) :: @<$5 = $vector_1 ::
@<$6 = subscr($vector, 1)
