It appears that table backgrounds can be set for cells, rows, or
entire tables. Here, the background is for the table. Go to Table |
Table Properties... | Background (or right-click | Table... |
Background). If for "For" you select Cell or Row, you will see No
Fill selected, but if you select Table for "For", you will see that
the background colour for the entire table is "Gray 20%". Select No
Fill there (as you have now discovered).

This sets the background to white, which isn't exactly the same as
"No fill". But if on that same dialog, you select the Table option
of the "For" field, and then click on No fill, the shading goes
away. It is peculiar, though -- my first attempt was to do the same
thing you did, then click on No fill -- and the shading came back!
This is understandable. If you select the whole table and then
change the background for Cell or Row to White, this will override
the existing table background. If you the cancel this by setting the
same parameter to No Fill, the table background colour will again show through.

Is that considered a bug?
I don't think so. It makes sense to me that cell formatting
overrides row formatting, which in turn overrides table
formatting. It does mean that if you format an entire row using cell
formatting or an entire table using cell or row formatting, the
current row or table formatting will be hidden.
I trust this helps.
