Sticking buttons in a table cell is a typical example of using tables for layout. We may frown upon this practice, but since this problem was introduced very recently, it may break quite a few web pages out there. It appears that for example Firefox 3.5.8 does not exhibit this problem. Therefore, I would argue fixing this bug.
