A page of tables inside sections looks perfectly fine on the original page:

{excerpt} {section}
{column:width=33%}

h5. Meeting 39, September 26

Theme: Celebrities
|| Toastmaster | person 1||
|| Grammarian / Um-ahh | person 2 ||
|| Timer | person 3 ||
...
{section}{excerpt}

renders to:

<table class="sectionMacro" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr>

<td class="confluenceTd" valign="top" width="33%">

<h5><a name="FutureRosters-Meeting39%2CSeptember26"></a>Meeting 39, September 26</h5>

<p>Theme: <b>Celebrities</b> </p>

<table class='confluenceTable'><tbody>
<tr>
<th class='confluenceTh'> Toastmaster </th>
<td class='confluenceTd'> person 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class='confluenceTh'> Grammarian / Um-ahh </th>
<td class='confluenceTd'> person 2</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<th class='confluenceTh'> Timer </th>
<td class='confluenceTd'> person 3 </td>
</tr>
...
But when it is included on another page it get rendered all wrong:

{excerpt-include:Future Rosters}

renders to:

<div class="panel"><div class="panelHeader"><b>Future Rosters</b></div><div class="panelContent">
<table class='confluenceTable'><tbody>
<tr>
<td class='confluenceTd'><h5><a name="Test-Meeting39%2CSeptember26"></a>Meeting 39, September 26</h5>
<p>Theme: <b>Celebrities</b> </p></td>

<th class='confluenceTh'> Toastmaster </th>
<td class='confluenceTd'> person 1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class='confluenceTh'> Grammarian / Um-ahh </th>
<td class='confluenceTd'> person 2 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th class='confluenceTh'> Timer </th>

<td class='confluenceTd'>person 3</td>
</tr>
....

The section information seems to have been removed and note the first row somehow takes in two rows from the original table
