The decisive sentence of the spec influencing the following 3 tests is

"
a cell in the first row with a value other than 'auto' for the 'width'
property determines the width for that column.
"
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/tables.html#fixed-table-layout

and width of cell is not equal to width of column if the cell has
horizontal borders and/or horizontal padding.
The verb "determines" does not mean "is equal to".

So, as far as I can see, Firefox 15+ pass these 3 tests and other browsers
fail these 3 tests:

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/fixed-table-layout-025.xht
(In this 025 test, the cell in first row has horizontal padding)

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/fixed-table-layout-026.xht
(In this 026 test, the cell in first row has horizontal borders)

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/fixed-table-layout-027.xht
(In this 027 test, the cell in first row has horizontal borders and
horizontal padding)
