How did you get these ideas?

I can confirm this for table.appendChild() vs. tableSection.appendChild() 
and

  - a table with explicit “thead”, “tfoot”, and “tbody” elements in the
    markup (the features table of the ECMAScript Support Matrix [1]), and

  - a dynamically created table (a “tbody” element had to be appended as
    its child explicitly, and the row added to *that*, to be displayed)

in IE 6.0.2800.1106 on Wine XP.  It should not apply for other ways to add 
table rows, and not for any version that supports HTML5.
