That definitely explains the abrupt change in behavior at 250:

SystemOptions[CompileOptions -> TableCompileLength]
{"CompileOptions" -> {"TableCompileLength" -> 250}}

Though when I try to compile either the function or the function in
Table, it all works fine.  So it seems that when Table compiles, it is
using some internal specialized version of Compile that has the bug.
