Yes it's been somewhat buggy in the display for some time now. I  
didn't get the chance to look into it so any help here would be most  
welcome :)

The page that doesn't render nice is:
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Categories

This page includes the http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/CategorySheet 
  page which uses the form macro. It seems the form macro has some  
problems. It's  as if it generated code using the {table} macro but  
that later doesn't get rendered.

Thus you should probably check the FormMacro.java source.

Thanks
