I've modified one of our (XHTML) tests to check this, and it works fine
(sorry but the test is a bit complicated):
---
table.mark3:before, table.mark3:after {
content: row(cell(" "),
cell(content("Column 1 Column 2"), column-span, 2),
cell(" "),
text-align, center, font-weight, bold, color, olive,
padding-top, 2, padding-right, 2,
padding-bottom, 2, padding-left, 2,
border-width, 1, border-style, inset,
border-top-color, gray, border-right-color, gray,
border-bottom-color, gray, border-left-color, gray);
display: table-row-group;
}
table.mark3 thead:before, table.mark3 thead:after {
content: icon(diamond);
color: olive;
padding: 2;
}
table.mark3 tfoot:before, table.mark3 tfoot:after {
content: icon(filled-square);
color: olive;
padding: 2;
}
table.mark3 tr:before, table.mark3 tr:after {
content: circle;
color: olive;
padding: 2;
}

See attached screen shot.
May be if you change "display: table-row" to "display: table-row-group",
it will also work fine for you.
