i was surprised it worked at all...

since you want the table number referred in the same where wherever it
occurs, you probably need just to change \thetable at the start of the
appendices (thus avoiding all that fiddling with \makeatletter).

however, there's a slight confusion: you mention "table a1" but in
your command you have a space between appendix number and table
number.  so, does \renewcommand\thetable{\thechapter\thetable}
(without fiddling with \fnum at table) do what you want?

(i'm presuming -- you don't say in this post and i've now deleted the
earlier one -- that it's a chapter-based document.  otherwise use
\thesection in place of \thechapter.)
