At least for Gecko's implementation, I suspect it's about the same 
simplicity for either one, actually...  The table code is just there, 
and doesn't care that the parent is a flexbox, while the fixup is pretty 
simple to do either way, since you already have to do it in some cases.

This is an interesting use case....

I'm not sure.  To some extent this felt to me like a situation that 
would never arise in practice until you brought up the fallback to table 
layout.
