None of those at all, but again I would expect &lt; to be rendered 
always unless it was concealed by a missing end quote or end of tag, 
in which case the whole table would go awry.

This fault is extremely sensitive to what else is on the page. If I 
add </table><table cellpadding="2"> immediately under the start of the 
table, so that in effect I've just moved the table down a bit the 
fault goes away. If I play about with the end of the long string it 
affects how the fault appears. It could be a < at the end of the table 
or in the middle of the next table or the alignment of the following 
table could go to pot. The changes which revealed this problem were 
nowhere near the table cell that appears to cause it.

Yes, I think you're right there!
