I think khtml handles it (you will know better) but I don't think
khtmlw will. We had a bugreport some time ago from someone who
only closed table rows but did not open them. I haven't fixed that
because it is obviously bad html.

This bugreport is actually not much different. If yahoo wishes to
use invalid HTML they are on their own. The HTML 4.0 DTD does not
allow a form-tag instead of a TR tag and the TR start-tag is mandatory. 

Better ask them to fix their HTML. IMHO you can close the bug-report.

Cheers,
Waldo
