Thank you for the helpful CSV test file. Tellico generates HTML and
displays it in a widget using KHTML, which I just tested. The HTML appears
to be correct and displays correctly if I look at it in Firefox but not
Chromium or Konqueror.

So ultimately, this is a bug in the old HTML display widget in KDE, which
is currently deprecated without further development, I believe. I'll try to
noodle a workaround, but the bug may be persistent until Tellico switches
to a different HTML view widget.
