Incorrect script excise from table (was Re: possible jtidy changes)

ok, I'll add a little bit more light on this subject - it seems that when
I have a script element w/ a body that is not a comment and is the
only child under a table element, the script element is excised from the
table but the contents/children are left inside of the table.

I've tried this on both the jan. and august release of the C version of
tidy & on w/ jtidy & they all behave identically...

the following file
<html>
  <body>
    <table>
        <script language=JavaScript>
function email()
{
address=document.emailform.emailinput.value;
location='http://www.cnn.com/EMAIL/index.html?'+address;
}
        </script>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

becomes

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
</script>

function email() { address=document.emailform.emailinput.value;
location='http://www.cnn.com/EMAIL/index.html?'+address; }
</body>
</html>


but - when there's more to the table, and the table isn't being excised,
here's what happens

<html>
  <body>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td>
        </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <script language=JavaScript>
function email()
{
address=document.emailform.emailinput.value;
location='http://www.cnn.com/EMAIL/index.html?'+address;
}
        </script>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

becomes

<html>
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function email()
{
address=document.emailform.emailinput.value;
location='http://www.cnn.com/EMAIL/index.html?'+address;
}
        
</script>

<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

where the script element still has the script.  This seems like a bug to
me, & I'd gladly fix it unless somebody tells me that it shouldn't be...
