This looks like a Nav Quirk. Without a 'strict' doctype, 5.0 will render the
page as Nav does. If you put in a 'strict' doctype (see attached test case), 5.0
will render the page in 'standard mode' and the empty cell will be white.

Marking bug invalid.

was there ever any release note or documentation about this?

In order for Mozilla to do IE style empty table cells, the webpage author should
add empty-cells: show; to their css for that table
