I only run HEAD.

Good news, in HEAD it's rendered the same as mozilla; DIV and TABLE are
starting on the same line (tested it with my posted patch).

I think this erratical behaviour is some other bug. Seen it on
list.kde.org too. What imo happens is that if the mouse hovers a link it
gets underlined. This triggers a relayout, such that the mouse is not
above this link anymore. So the link is not underlined anymore and a
relayout occurs. Now the mouse is on top of a link etc. etc.
Somehow the dimensions of an underlined link is different than when its
not underlined, causing this behaviour in some cases.
