Whoops, you're right of course!

No, the following should work instead:
<div style="display:table; width:100%">
<div style="display:table-caption">
<div style="width:20px; height:20px; float:left;"></div>
</div>
<div style="display:table-caption; clear:left;">caption</div>
</div>

Yeah, this seems to be a new thing in Gecko, since I'm sure I've messed
around with multiple captions in the past. Note that CSS21 Ch.17 is
internally inconsistent on the subject of multiple captions, but very
strongly points towards allowing multiple captions. Also, in Gecko at
least, captions invalidly establish a block formatting context. So
there are browser bugs here.
