Verified that this issue is still present after the recent Proton updates. I'll tag it with Proton for now, but I suspect that the cause is ultimately with styles coming in from elsewhere.

The problematic style comes from Vector print styles: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/skins/Vector/+/refs/heads/master/resources/skins.vector.styles/common/print.less#101

IMO the error should be fixed upstream or on the wiki page. I'll keep Proton but remove our team from it, please feel free to retag if needed.

To make sure I understand this applies to paragraph tags within td cells?

Exactly, and somehow references are getting this DOM structure and print style is affecting it.

So applies to normal printing as well.
