The clearing is done via the creation of a new block formatting context [1],
so I don't think it is "display:table" that contains the float, but a
"implicit" "display:table-cell". 

The spec says something like this: "[display:table] can generate anonymous
boxes, one of them (with display:table-cell) establishes a new block
formatting context".

This may explain the issue you're experiencing with WebKit (?).
