I'm not sure if there are use-cases where the <tr>s without the <table> are actually desired. It's hard to tell, because this isn't specified.

The behavior is the same when selecting the whole table with the mouse (without pressing Ctrl). Chrome offers that feature too and inserts a <table> element.

Sounds like editor should wrap table related elements with <table> etc. However, be careful when pasting into an existing table elements and whether selection is in a cell or some cells are selected.
