Declaring td {margin-left: auto;} should be ignored but, in IE 8 beta 1, table cells will be mispositioned (huge offset)

This is 1st table cell This is 2nd table cell This is 3rd table cell

Expected results: All 3 solid-black bordered table cells should INside the solid-orange bordered table

Actual results in IE 8 beta 1: The 1st solid-black bordered table cell will be offset to the right-most inner edge of the table. The 2 right-most solid-black bordered table cells are "pushed" OUTside the solid-orange bordered table

Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0.1, Shiretoko 3.1, Opera 9.52, Safari 3.1.2, Konqueror 4.1, Seamonkey 1.x, Seamonkey 2.x, NS 7.2, K-meleon 1.x, Galeon 2.0.4, Epiphany 2.22.3 all pass this test.

Reference:
"margin: applies to all elements except elements with table display types other than table-caption, table and inline-table"
CSS 2.1, section 8.3 margins

"Internal table elements do not have margins."
CSS 2.1, section 17.5 Visual layout of table contents
