I never did file the bug. I've now created 2 test cases:

http://btrem.com/tests/table2

This is a simplified test case of the bug I first noticed on the 
tenmercer.com site (see url in quoted text above). Firefox gets it 
right; webkit does not.

http://btrem.com/tests/table1

This is a test case using the separate border model and border around 
<td> elements. Firefox and webkit get this one wrong (unless I 
misunderstand the border model).

If the tests look correct to you, I'm going to file the bugs.
