Thanks for the pointer. The project name is actually pdftohtml, rather than the digit 2, but close enough to find easily.
Unfortunately, this is still pretty ugly... Tables do end up displaying properly in "complex document" mode, but that's just because it puts every element in a <div> and positions it with style=position:absolute. Whether it's in normal mode or complex document mode, there's nary a <table> tag in sight.
I also found a message in one of the project forums where the author tells someone else, There is no concept of tables in PDF. When you see a table in a PDF file, it's just a bunch of text positioned in particular places and a bunch of lines. There is no simple way to translate tables from PDF to HTML or anything else. Granted, the post was from mid-2004, but, unless that's changed, this looks very not-promising.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
