We have at least one test (I'm searching for more tests right now) on it: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/nightly-unstable/html4/clear-applies-to-013.htm and it would seem to me to be insufficient as coded: we would need such table to have at least one non-emtpy table caption to make such test a bit more reliable, trustworthy, truly testing what the test originally, initially wanted to test.
