OK, I can reproduce with CVS as well. No wonder.
Could you please file a report on sourceforge with the same content?

yes but it's more convoluted.
You need to table->takeItem( table->item(x,y) )

Obviouly, the garbage collection model for *Items is unsatisfying. Qt isn't 
sound enough in that respect  to come up with something reliable.
That needs to be worked out, 
but I'm concerned about backward compatibility ;-/
