After finally getting the devs to set table backgrounds to transparent so they didn't look awful on special pages like [[Special:Movepage]], per bug 3582, I discovered the probable reason for why they were specified as white in Monobook in the first place: if they're transparent, level-one and -two heading rules (actually border-bottoms) run into them, as can be seen at the provided URL. Mea culpa. Tables should be set back to white, and projects that modify the background colors should modify the background colors of any background-color-specified descendants as well (#content table { background: #F8FCFF } .ns-0 * #content table { background: white; } for enwiki).

Fixed in r16956 (see also r16957).
