V0315: End tags within a select tag within a table are not processed correctly and are ignored

The specification states:

 8.2.5.4.17 The "in select in table" insertion mode
  
     When the user agent is to apply the rules for the "in select in table" insertion 
     mode, the user agent must handle the token as follows:
         ...
         An end tag whose tag name is one of: "caption", "table", "tbody", "tfoot", 
         "thead", "tr", "td", "th"
  
             Parse error.
  
             If the stack of open elements does not have an element in table scope that is 
             an HTML element and with the same tag name as that of the token, then ignore 
             the token.
  
             Otherwise:
  
             Pop elements from the stack of open elements until a select element has been 
             popped from the stack.
  
             Reset the insertion mode appropriately.
  
             Reprocess the token.
