If they are beeing propagated, it is a clear bug. As to the misalignment, I also fail to understand why the header border gets to be drawn narrower than the cell border which is contained in it. I thought borders should be drawn inside the elements area rectangle, but I'm not sure. If they're supposed to be centered in the area limits, this would explain the effect. Even if I define a border-left for the header, the cell border still overlaps it. See the attached files with colored borders.
