Here is the table layout for the minimal case I could find, resulting in no border between the values in the third column: {| class="sortable wikitable" style="text-align: center" |- ! Header1 ! Header2 ! Header3 |- | Row1 || Value1.1 || rowspan="3" | Value2.1 |- | Row2 || Value1.2 |- | Row3 || rowspan="2" | Value1.3 |- | Row4 || Value2.2 |} I first noticed this bug in the Venue column between the 30th and 40th rows here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Academy_Awards_ceremonies. Although, the comments in the table header seem to indicate that "rowspan" is only supported on the right most column. Is that a known limitation of sortable wikitables?
Created attachment 14779 [details] Screenshot of the test case (looks okay to me) I'm not sure what the issue is, can you provide a screenshot? I'm attaching one of how it looks to me, it seems alright. 'rowspan' should be supported everywhere in the table, but the rows will be "split" after you try sorting it – that is also expected behavior.

Created attachment 14781 [details] Screetshot of the issue (no cell border in rightmost column). Here's a screenshot of the repro in Firefox 27.0.1. I just tried IE8 and IE10 and I don't see the issue. I guess it's a Firefox bug.
This looks like a FF issue to me. If you google a bit, you quickly find that FF has had a slew of problems with table borders and rowspan in the past. There seem to be several open tickets relating to this in their bug tracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=rowspan+border
