Please retest with the latest development build: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
and if the bug is still present and reproducible with a new profile, can you provide a testcase? https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Reducing_testcases

Using Firefox trunk on Mac, I see a different layout every time I load the testcase.

I'm guessing this is a manifestation of bug 148810: Gecko gets many dynamic cases involving mis-nested table displays wrong.  Until that bug is fixed, the workaround I recommend is to avoid hitting those cases: use only table-row when you're directly inside table-row-group.

The patch for bug 148810 does in fact fix this.
