p cannot occur within an inline element

I have posted this to ciwas but got no answer. I hope you can clarify this for me. Thank you in advance.

I have a page where I use the P element inside TD. This page validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict. In my CSS I have something like:
td.class p, td.class ul {
/* various declarations */
}
Now, the CSS validator issues a warning here: "p (or ul) cannot occur within an inline element".

My understanding of the specifications is that TD is a _block-level_ element which _may_ contain other block-level elements, including P. 
Therefor, I don't understand why I get this warning (it's not an error, it's a warning). Is this a bug in the validator (trigerred by the class on the td) or is there something that escapes me?
