You are correct that Webkit/Blink behavior is not what is described in the spec.
I have always considered it as a bug.

The spec is in fact quite clear that this is not the correct behavior.

In this case, the space between the inline blocks should not be removed because inline-block is not a (non-root) table box.

However, the grouping of these two elements in the same cell is described here:

Per spec, gecko has the correct behavior. We could of course always change the spec, but what we have now is intentional (some of the discussion being recorded in #467).
