This is indeed the case. We routinely generate .docx files containing 
tables having colored rows and cells. See for example the very basic 
"Countries" example used in "How it works" 
(http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/how_it_works.html):

I'm sorry but I don't know.

It works as expected if you generate RTF or .odt (OpenOffice), but not 
when you generate .docx or WordprocessingML (MS-Word 2003).

It works as expected whatever the output format when the table having 
colored rows and cells is not nested inside another table.

We'll look at our code for the next release (not before next September) 
and if it's an XMLmind bug, we'll fix it. However, there is also a 
little chance that it's a MS-Word bug, in which case there is not much 
we can do.

Meanwhile, the only workaround is to make the XSL-FO you generate simpler.
