If it's a bug (in your eyes), the answer is always yes.

Otherwise please stick the list's rules. New threads must start with a 
patch for a bug fix a or feature.

Anyway, do I understand you correct when I assume that this behaviour 
only occurs when the RTE is disabled? I think that a transform could add 
spaces or line breaks around and within a table - if it is certain that 
the content is indeed html. Further question: is this behaviour new (as 
your subject line suggests)? I don't think that it differs from previous 
TYPO3 versions.
