In such case, please click in the element of interest (td) and press Shift-F1 (Help|Show Content Model) and you'll see that the contents model of td is something like: --- (text | inlinemediaobject | remark | superscript | subscript | ...| errortext | errorname | errortype)+ | (itemizedlist | orderedlist | procedure | simplelist | variablelist | ... | programlisting | ... | para | formalpara | simpara | annotation)* --- That is, a mix of text and ``inline elements'' OR zero or more ``block elements''. See also http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/html.td.html Thus, you need to [1] explicitly select the text node contained in the td [2] *replace* (not insert) the selected text node by a programlisting.
