Scenario 2 is semiauto (see mail from Charles which elaborates on this use case). Scenario 1 seems incomplete. If the human decides that a table is a layout table AND therefore the test is a fail, then it is actually a manual (for example the tool is a browser toolbar). If the tool merely asks the human "is this a layout table" and uses this input to decide the outcome of the test, then it is semiauto. So the question is not the series of atomic steps or tests but how the overall decision is made.
