Here's what it looks like after hitting HELP:
Unfortunately the patch does not fully solve the problem, but it does help:

There are two separate parts to the bug report:
1) The existing implementation has <tr> rows without an enclosing <table> (that's the patch).
2) Activating HELP for the first time causes the table tags to be ignored completely (that the observable bug).
The provision of <table border=1> or <table border=0> is an implementation choice once you have a table tag to work with. Another very compact solution is to use <td valign=top> on the task name cells.

Mmm I was pretty sure to have put <table> tag, and finally forgotten it :D
However adding it with your patch does not solve the issue, I am able to reproduce it with valid HTML 3.2, I don't see why.

Very odd.
Is the HELP inserting some CSS into the mix to set formatting?
Does the internal HTML system even support CSS?

Found why. Yes we are using stylesheets in Help Browser.
The odd point is this method of Java:
Set the set of styles to be used to render the various HTML elements. These styles are specified in terms of CSS specifications. Each document produced by the kit will have a copy of the sheet which it can add the document specific styles to. By default, the StyleSheet specified is shared by all HTMLEditorKit instances. This should be reimplemented to provide a finer granularity if desired.
Seriously ?? I wonder what Sun had in mind when they did this o_O
