Why doesn't a LinkButton work with a table as it's content?

Using ASP.NET 3.5, you can create a LinkButton then define content inside of it. It works fine if I have div tags or any kind of text or anything, but if I use a table the click doesn't actually post back for some reason. This should take you to google (you'll get an error there but it should still go) for instance:

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbTest" PostBackUrl="http://www.google.com" runat="server">
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>Test</td>
                    <td>col2</td>
                    <td>col3</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </asp:LinkButton>

I could work around it by building a "table" with divs I guess, but I hate formatting with divs.
