[ic] [table-editor] requires {TOP_OF_FORM}

Lately I've been saving myself hours and hours by using the wondrous [table-editor] in 4.9 CVS.  But it seems that [table-editor] will not display anything if you omit the {TOP_OF_FORM} and {BOTTOM_OF_FORM}.

Problem demonstration:

<form>
[table-editor table=country]
        {HIDDEN_FIELDS} <table> {:REST} </table> 
[/table-editor]
... lots of other stuff here ...
[button text="Next"]mv_nextpage=aboutus[/button]
</form>

Work-around:

<form>
[table-editor table=country]
        [tmp a]{TOP_OF_FORM}[/tmp]
        {HIDDEN_FIELDS} <table> {:REST} </table> 
        [tmp a]{BOTTOM_OF_FORM}[/tmp]
[/table-editor]
... lots of other stuff here ...
[button text="Next"]mv_nextpage=aboutus[/button]
</form>

Notice how we still get the effect of removing TOP_OF_FORM by using [tmp][/tmp].

Is this the desired behavior?  (In other words, am I the only one who wants to embed table-editor within their own <form>?)

Thanks for any input.
