Why are table borders between thead and tbody not collapsing when caption is positioned?

In this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/jnddfyeq/ I have two tables with border-collapse: collapse. In the first one everything works as expected. In the second one I position the caption with position: absolute and now the borders between the thead and tbody do not collapse.

This happens in Firefox 38 and IE8 (not in a fiddle.) I have not tested other browsers. Is this behavior standard? If so why?

UPDATE: Same thing happens in Safari.
