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 (?).
