Jens, aes,

It's not really broken. It is just that it is a very fussy art.

Needs["Graphics`Colors`"]

StyleBox[
    FrameBox[
      GridBox[{{"Table title stuff"},
      {StyleBox[
              FrameBox[
                GridBox[{{a, b}, {c, d}},
                  ColumnWidths -> 5,
                  ColumnSpacings -> -0.1,
                  ColumnLines -> True]],
              Background -> AliceBlue]}},
        ColumnWidths -> 10,
        ColumnSpacings -> 0,
        RowSpacings -> 0.5,
        RowAlignments -> Axis],
      BoxMargins -> {{0.4, 0.4}, {0.1, 0.2}}],
    Background -> Aquamarine] // DisplayForm
