This is because you enclosed the actual table address@hidden' in an 
address@hidden'.
address@hidden' creates a floating table (similar to floating figures---see the
relevant section of the User Guide).  By default, floating
tables/figures appear on the page immediately following the
address@hidden'/address@hidden' invocation (provided there is enough space to 
hold
it).

This is a known problem.  See:

I believe Jeff explained me why this was not fixable but it seems that
his answer was off-list.

This won't be the case unless you use the `lines' break style.  For
instance:

  lines @Break
  @Tbl

  ...

Or (if the `break' option really exists):

  @Tbl
    break { lines }

  ...

In any case, you simply used address@hidden' without specifying your initial
break style.  I don't know what the default break style is.  Check the
address@hidden' option of address@hidden' in the User Guide.

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
