Web 101: Using tables -for layout- is "old school" but using tables to display tabular data is totally valid. Div/ul/dl etc are "better" because they better describe the content (at least in the case of ul/dl), are usually more terse, and most importantly, allow layout to be controlled by stylesheets, creating less coupling between your content and your presentation.
Outside of this bug, I've never heard of, or ever expect, newer browsers to "not handle tables well".
