Works fine over here.

Fix the bug in your code (see below)?

This puts the <tr> as a direct child of the <table>, whereas the other 
<tr> is a child of the <tbody>.  That means they're in different row 
groups, and rowspans do not cross rowgroup boundaries (see 
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tabular-data.html#table-model 
or http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#adef-rowspan).

table.tBodies[0].appendChild(tr) will give you the behavior you seem to 
want.
