Tables should not be put inside paragraphs, so your markup is invalid.

Presumably, Firefox is automatically closing the <p> block element
when the new table element begins. This is expected behaviour, and as
I understand it, this is correct.

On the other hand IE6 makes a wrong guess, which just happens to
coincide with what you want.
