This appears to be the result of incorrect HTML.  Error only happens when you
are enclosing the block level element (table) in the inline element (span).

if you set the display of the span to block it renders correctly.

Not a tables issue.  Trevor is right -- the error is in putting a block element
inside span.  Should we have a quirk for this?  _Can_ we have a quirk for this?
