IE: Selecting, applying styles or merging empty table cells in IE seems to be impossible

[Korikulum]

It is not possible to select empty table cells in IE. This is the source of merging problem.

When trying to merge empty table cells in IE the context-menu "Merge Cells" option remains disabled.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new page
2. Create a table with multiple columns/rows
3. Try merging some empty cell
   1. Try selecting some empty cells (won't work)
   2. Right-click on "selected" cells to display context-menu
   3. The "Merge Cells" option is disabled
4. Try applying styles like background colour to multiple empty cells - won't work because you can't select these cells.

Reproducible in all versions of IE from CKEditor 3.0.
