A little more testing shows me that the problem appears to be bad  
interactions with the \newtheorem command, or its results.  I have  
the table+text enclosed in an "example" environment created with  
newtheorem (using amsthm).  The snippet gives me proper results  
without the 'example' environment; and the overly exuberant  
indenting, if I enclose it in the environment.

I've sent mail to the author, who is currently looking at the problem.

Regards,

Justin
