Biensur:

╭───── [ emacs_init.el ]
│ (package-initialize)
│ (toggle-debug-on-error)
│ (setq org-startup-align-all-tables t)
╰─────

First line is to ensure the Elpa Org package is available.

╭───── [ bug.org ]
│ * Column width alignment
│ 
│ |   A |    B | C     |
│ |     |      | <5>   |
│ | 123 | 1234 | 56789 |
╰─────

and then do:

emacs -q -l emacs_init.el bug.org

Now edit the column width cookie a few times, hitting TAB after each
edit.  I haven't yet found what sequence of edits that triggers the
error in this example, as it seems inconsistent.  I tried switching
between different permutations of 2, 3, 4, 5, and eventually the
debugger is entered.  During normal use cases, I get into the error
right away.
