Use UiBinder and base element is TableRowElement failing.

Example code:

  public class SomeItemPanel {

    interface SomeItemUiBinder extends UiBinder<TableRowElement, SomeItemPanel> {}
    private static SomeItemPanelUiBinder uiBinder = GWT.create(SomeItemPanelUiBinder.class);

    private TableRowElement element;

    public SomeItemPanel() {
        element = uiBinder.createAndBindUi(this);
    }
}

// And SomeItemPanel.ui.xml 

<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui='urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder'
             xmlns:g='urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui'>
    <tr>
        <td></td>
        <td></td>
    </tr>
</ui:UiBinder>

I think you want to post this to the code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit issue 
tracker.  This project is for a library that uses GWT.
