html5 file that gets validated correctly, containing 1 error: line 123

Hello,
I found a bug while validating some documents in html5. When I validate a long table, the validator is not checking if I correctly close the <tr> tags before closing the <table> tag. I attached my file for reproduction. The validator tells me everything is fine, but a missing </tr> is not fine according to my understanding of the specification.

The </tr> end tag is optional:
