The HTML in the task is incorrect. That's the reason of the odd thing.
The browser has to fix it automatically. But there may be no text inside the <table>: according to the spec only table-specific tags are allowed. So the browser adds "aaa" before the <table>.
Now it's obvious that when we remove the table, it remains.
The question can be easily answered by exploring DOM using the browser tools. They show "aaa" before the <table>.
The HTML standard specifies in detail how to process bad HTML, and such behavior of the browser is correct.
