Stuart offered a good solution to your specific problem. But I'm wondering about your first sentence. Why are you using a table to "handle two-column text" instead of two-column text frames (via appropriately laid-out custom master pages)? You can define the appropriate heading pgf formats to span all columns and sideheads. 

Do you need to switch from one column to two columns at random places in the flow? Or only at page breaks? 

If the latter, you can map master pages to specific paragraph tags. If the former, you could put the heading into the first row of the table (straddle the cells). Or you could use a two-column text frame inside an anchored frame. The best approach depends a lot on how much two-column content there is, whether that portion has to flow across pages, etc.
