~Submitted as a draft PR because it relies on
https://github.com/DioxusLabs/taffy/pull/1001. I temporarily pinned our
`taffy` dependency to that particular branch to make the new tests
pass.~ That fix got released!

This fix is similar to the original fix in #50839 which got partially
reverted by #52864 due to a regression, and
`test_table_never_renders_past_its_available_width` ensures this doesn't
regress again.
