Hi Jay,
I'm unable to duplicate your problem. I cut and pasted your table into a
document and processed with the fo/docbook.xsl stylesheet from 1.70.1 (and
1.69.1 and 1.68.1) and I got this output:
<fo:table-body start-indent="0pt">
<fo:table-row>
<fo:table-cell padding-left="2pt" padding-right="2pt"
padding-top="2pt" padding-bottom="2pt" border-right-width="0.5pt"
border-right-style="solid" border-right-color="black" text-align="center"
number-columns-spanned="4">
<fo:block>VER</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell padding-left="2pt" padding-right="2pt"
padding-top="2pt" padding-bottom="2pt" border-right-width="0.5pt"
border-right-style="solid" border-right-color="black" text-align="center"
number-columns-spanned="4">
<fo:block>FAM</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
<fo:table-cell padding-left="2pt" padding-right="2pt"
padding-top="2pt" padding-bottom="2pt" text-align="center"
number-columns-spanned="8">
<fo:block>PARTNO</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>
</fo:table-row>
</fo:table-body>
