Call off the search - I think I found the solution via Google (and via a German website, just as well I'm Austrian). Apparently, Mac/Safari only recognises the colgroup if it's placed DIRECTLY after the table tag ... and I had a caption in-between. Once I removed the caption, the colgroup command was recognized and styling applied.
Link to German site which rescued me: http://www.mediaevent.de/article.php?story=2002110710044075 New table mark-up: <table> <colgroup> <col id="description" /> etc. and like magic it works ... one browser bug down, and probably more round the corner.
