The page has an unclosed <a name="gora"> that contains all the content.  The old parser closed <a> when it hit a <table>, and certainly when it hit another <a>, but the html5 spec says to not do that, as I recall.

In any case, not a layout issue.

Odd...
It renders properly with latest Chromium, Opera and Safari

But how about closing it to get better compatibly with some sites ?
If not, we can close this bug ;p

You mean not follow the spec?  How about you bring this up on the whatwg or public-html mailing list and ask for a spec change?

I'm too n00by with mailing list, so I leave this things to you guys.
And if it wont be fixed (cause its not fx bug) we can close it :)

Duplicating forward, because the newer bug has a more focused test case.
