Sigh, yes, that'll teach me for not being clear... The markup I posted which generated that error was *reduced* from previously valid markup (and the error messages remained the same).
To the best of my understanding, though, the original `tbl(1)` markup <https://github.com/Alhadis/.files/blob/master/share/man/man5/textmate.5#L368-L492> I authored *was* valid. (I was selectively removing one line at a time to see if it would make a difference, which... it didn't...)
