2 Chrome Table Rendering Defects: Inconsistent Rendering and table-layout: fixed;

Question

First: This doesn't happen in Safari, and I cannot say it's WebKit. Second: Hit this link: http://nerdfiles.net/gdgs/chrome-table-rendering-defect.html Third: Control-refresh 30 or 40 times; you'll eventually see it. The table cells are "exposed" to highlight the problem. Fourth: CTRL+SHIFT+I, set the same problem table to "table-layout: fixed;". Fifth: ??? Sixth: Profit!

Know what's up?
