Sphinx extensions
Additional context
Sphinx translates the 10% into 0.100\linewidth. But \linewidth may be zero at some times of processing of tables 1. In the first two cases tabulary fell back to its minium width of 10pt. In the third case (merged cell), Sphinx emitted a varwidth environment wrapper and seemingly \linewidth had a normal interpretation.

it looks as I was going through a state of confusion here. It is not exactly clear what
\linewidthis especially whentabularytries to find dynamically the best choice of column width, but it is not set to zero. Apologies. ↩
