The problem is that your templates have specifically encoded that section break has to be "continuous".
Look at this web page, for example, to see how to change them: http://www.howtogeek.com/73928/change-the-type-for-a-section-break-in-word-2007-and-2010/
Like the section break was continuous and your table had an absolute page positioning and "allowing overlap" set to true it was trying to locate the table at the beguinning of the page and breaking it as Word decided best (not very well by the way).
