The background attribute is only defined for the <body> element, not 
table related elements.  'bgcolor' is, however, it is deprecated in HTML 
and can only be used with a Transitional DTD.  Because of their 
presentational nature, these attributes should be avoided.  Instead, you 
should use CSS to control the presentation of the documents.

Many browsers support non-standard extensions to HTML, but that doesn't 
mean it's not an error.

Yes.  The validator is very rarely wrong with these kind of errors.
