Probably related to T258501/T299070, though those are more focused on the arrow being misaligned near the page edge. This is in a table cell, which could have its own alignment issues?

That said, I can't actually reproduce this on the page you linked to with the link you were using:

The change in background colour in your broken screenshot suggests the table is extending beyond the content area, whereas the popup is clipped to the content area.

Good call, @Esanders. During today's triage meeting, we confirmed what you mentioned above to be true.
