When a table contains the CAPTION element, Safari ignores all styling of COL and COLGROUP.
How to recreate the bug:
1. Create a valid 3 column TABLE containing the CAPTION element. (Doctype HTML 4.0.1 Strict)
2. For it to be valid, CAPTION must follow immediately after the TABLE start tag.
Her is a mini example:
[TABLE][CAPTION]caption[/CAPTION][COL][COL][COL][TR][TD]A[TD]B[TD]C[/TABLE]
3. Add styling to the COL element. Add a width and a background color!
TABLE{background:red;} COL{width:10em;background:green;}
4. >> RESULT: Safari displays the whole table in RED and ignores the COL styling.
>> SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED: the columns should have been green and 10em wide.
WORKAROUND (sort of): if one moves the CAPTION _after_ the COL/COLGROUP tags, then the table will be displayed correctly in Safari. However, this will make the HTML code invalid.

I'm sorry to have wasted your (and mine) time with a solved bug.
I performed a regular search for 'caption' and '<caption>' before filing this bug, and it only yielded 2 findings, none of which included - and still not include - bug 5822.
It turns out that to find bug 5822, I would have had to open the Advanced Search page _and_ turn on the option to search for status VERIFIED bugs ...
I hope those that govern the Bugzilla take note ...
