Not sure how, but the autosaved data may be corrupt. I think that it's
stored with your app's defaults, in (~/Library/Preferences/<your app's
domain>.plist). You could edit that file with Property List Editor or
whatever, and delete the autosave data for your table. You could do the
same with "defaults delete" in Terminal.

Best,
