This is not a bug.

The first part of the test case involves a table using auto layout mode.  In this mode, the width of the table is determined by the width of the cell content.  The width of the cell content must be calculated using a "shrink-to-fit" algorithm, since the normal algorithm depends on the width of the containing block being pre-determined.  The shrink-to-fit algorithm never results in overflow.

The second part of the test case does not use the shrink-to-fit width algorithm.  Instead, its width is determined solely by the width of its containing block (the viewport), irrespective of its content.  The calculated width ends up being less than the intrinsic width of the content, so overflow occurs.

If you want to prevent this kind of "overflow" (actually just width ballooning) in a table, use the fixed table layout mode.
