I'm sorry, I cannot reproduce the code working with your substitution.
Both forms work fine (3,1), (3,) if I do not specify the units of the column
Well, I say fine, except the units are stripped off the data and are not preserved in the QTable

If I have the unit definitions before trying to add a row, then I'm back to where I was.

I have astropy 1.3.2 and I've tried on python 2.7.12 and 3.5.2.

Thanks,
 Jeffrey
