IE 9/10 Table Rendering Bugs?

Some time ago my mail client (Windows Live Mail) started incorrectly displaying a logo image size on some auto-generated emails that I routinely receive. At the time I was using ie9, but have since upgraded to ie10 and have regularly kept my system up with the latest patches and updates.  The rendering error continues and I have also noticed bad rendering on various table-based html web pages and displays with regards to misplaced, mis-located and even non-rendered cell text contents and links.

In diving into the original email code, the rendering bug is associated with the display of a table cell size which is coded with a now obsolete "ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic" tag coupled with width and height attributes. Their html source uses this tag in many places, but only one particular occurrence of it appears to confuse my browser to display a grossly mis-sized table cell. I have tested my conclusion by editing their source html to delete the obsolete callout in the one place causing the rendering error, and the display then looks like it should.

Other html capable apps do not appear to have the problem and display the problematic code correctly (Like MS Office Word).  Therefore, I can only conclude that my problem lies within IE or whatever dll it uses for html rendering (which is also used by Windows Live email client).  Does anyone have a suggestion as to what is broken or how to fix it?  I'm at my wits end on this one - - 

Oh - I am currently running IE 10.0.9200.16750, update versions 10.0.12 (KB2898785) on a Win7 64-bit system with all the latest security updates.
