Ah, how interesting. Thanks for the tip there; it may save me some grief 
when debugging a map in a table some time.

Have you tried using CSS to style the table's border instead of the 
border= attribute? My guess is that you've hit upon a bug in calculating 
the map div's offset, and the offset calculation may not show that same 
inaccuracy if you use CSS.

table.outer {
   border:3px outset #CCCCCC;
}

table.inner {
   border:1px solid black;
}

<table class="outer">
    <table class="inner">
    </table>
</table>
