I would also agree that they are definitely not always right. In particular, specs almost never detail every interaction and some of it is assumed by the type of environment (eg, web pages behave a certain way, etc).
When the QA tester is ignorant of the assumptions, when they take liberties in how the unspecified parts of the system can behave, or when they don't understand the spec (which can be fairly technical) then they often do make mistakes in their reports.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
