In the presence of nowrap and a width, Firefox 12a in strict mode will not wrap.  Firefox in quirks mode will wrap.

IE in quirks mode and versions up to IE7 will also wrap.  IE8 and IE9 in standards mode will not wrap.

WebKit will always wrap.  It seems like to be consistent with other browsers, WebKit should not wrap in standards mode and wrap in quirks mode.

If someone wanted to fix this, the code is in CSSStyleSelector::adjustRenderStyle (the check against KHTML_NOWRAP).  That said, I'm not sure how much of an issue this is today.  It would have to be a page rendering in standards mode using the nowrap attribute on a table cell.  The workaround is to use CSS white-space: nowrap instead.
