Reduction of table align problem

This reduction is from Chromium, see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2043

It seems related to this existing WebKit issue.  If you disagree please create a new WebKit bug.  

There are two sub tables in the container table's td, the 1st sub table is set to right aligned, and the 2nd sub table is set to center aligned.

In IE/Firefox, the 2nd sub table will be center aligned relatively to the space 
expect the 1st sub table in its container td, while in Chrome/Safari the 2nd sub 
table is center aligned absolutely to its container td. So in Chrome/Safari the 2nd sub table overlaps the 1st table.

The rendering presented by IE, FF and Opera is to have the second table, "representing image", centered in the remaining space to the left of the right table.  The actual result is to have the second table centered absolutely in the outer-most table resulting in an overlap.

Both test cases are rendering same across all browsers (Safari Technology Preview 153, Chrome Canary 107 and Firefox Nightly 106) and since all are same, I am going to mark this as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED".

Chrome Bug Comment:

"My reading of http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.1 doesn't 
make it clear that WebKit is necessarily doing the wrong thing.  However, given that 
WebKit is the odd man out in this regard it makes sense to accept the dominant 
interpretation.  I have attached the example so people outside of Google's corporate 
network can see it."
