If there is some text directly inside a TABLE (or TBODY or TR), and I remove it by setting the text node's data to the empty string, a small gap remains, leaving the table asymmetric. I will attach reftests.

Hmm. The immediate problem is that those pseudo-frames are not being removed, but we shouldn't be creating those pseudo-frames at all, should we? See the NeedFrameFor() check in nsCSSFrameConstructor::ConstructFrame. Bernd, any idea what's up here? Also, is this a regression? I rather suspect it is...

Regressed between 2007-01-29 and 2007-01-31.

I see a different regression range: between 2007-02-01-01 and 2007-02-02-01 ? Nothing jumps out at me there either...
Oh, wait. NeedFrameFor only triggers on whitespace-only text. So we do expect pseudos here, and this is basically bug 162063 in a different form.

OK. I see what happened here. On branch, the <script> runs before we ever start layout, so the frame model doesn't have to deal with that dynamic change. On trunk, we started doing incremental XML layout. So now we're flushing out the layout for the offsetWidth get, then it has to update dynamically in response to the text set and fails. Of course in HTML, this has been a problem all along. As far as the regression range goes, the range I'm getting includes the fix for bug 369011. Until that fix, flushing the XML content sink randomly didn't work (because sometimes it thought that it was in the middle of a notification when it actually wasn't). I still have no idea where Jesse's range comes from, other than the likely "something changed what value happened to be at that uninitialized memory location" reason. I don't think this bug should be a blocker. Especially because it's not even clear what the right layout of this sort of markup is. I posted to www-style about that; no response so far other than the "it's been added to the issues list" boilerplate.
OK, we'll reevaluate...
