The colors that appear in (:cell:) and (:table:) tags aren't
WikiStyle colors; they're translated directly into HTML attributes.
As a result, most browsers won't understand bgcolor='ltred' 
(although they do understand bgcolor='red', since 'red' is a
well-defined color).

The problem with cell #2's contents above is a bug in beta54, which 
I believe is fixed in beta55.

At present there's not a way to mix wikistyles and advanced tables,
although we could perhaps see about adding one.
