The table in those 6 tests has only one table-row with one single table
cell. I think this is unfit for testing background-repeat on
table-row-group, table-header-group, table-footer-group, table-row,
table-column-group and table-column.

You will find proposed replacements (linked to/with an already defined
reftest) at:

After considerable thinking, I have rejected

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/background-repeat-applies-to-008.htm
(inline)

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/background-repeat-applies-to-012.htm
(inline-block)

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/background-repeat-applies-to-014.htm
(inline-table)

because

"
The tiling and positioning of the background-image on inline elements is
undefined in this specification. A future level of CSS may define the
tiling and positioning of the background-image on inline elements.

The other remaining background-repeat-applies-to-* tests have been
approved (and reftested except the list-item one).
