Thanks for the report! This is very similar to bug 546289 and is likely also fixed by the HTML5 parser (bug 373864). You can test as described on http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test-html5-parsing/ to confirm.

How are you doing the "get through ajax" part?  Please attach an HTML page showing the problem.  In particular, are you just parsing it as XML and then sticking it in the DOM?

Note that when parsed as HTML the invalid markup is fixed up so that the table row is NOT inside the form anymore  But that won't happen with XML, of course.

Reporter, is this a duplicate of bug 563921?

No response from reporter so I'm assuming it's the same (invalid) issue
as in bug 563921.
