To be honest with you, so would I. But I was reluctant to leap to
conclusions without pausing to see whether I was perhaps missing
something.

Nicely put. Indeed, if Mozilla is told to apply "inherit" to the
td style, then its behaviour is the same as Opera and MSIE.

Right - the defaults for the td are specified to be color transparent,
and background image none.
The problem, I feel sure, is that <tr> is somehow being processed as a
special kind of object, which never actually comes to light in its own
right, since it cannot contain naked content - only <td> and <th>
elements. (There have been more crass examples of CSS failures in
relation to table elements in earlier browser/versions, you might
recall.)
That's kind-of understandable in HTML terms - but I can't think that
such processing can be correct in CSS terms, any more than the failure
to inherit text sizing etc. into the table in earlier browser
versions, which has now (I think) been generally corrected (? at least
in standards modes ?). Sorry, I do have a day job as well, and don't
always manage to keep up with these details.

That's what I meant, indeed. Sorry I didn't explain it clearly the
first time.
