I think this is by design.  You have to wonder whether any borders 
which your table has are stolen from the row sizes or exist in 
addition to the row heights.  Since borders can be significantly 
large, it would make sense to me for the row heights to mean the size 
of the usable row space and not to include the border.  So if your 
table has borders (which it will by default), the total height of the 
table will be larger than the sum of the row heights.

Either suppress the table borders or else modify the row heights or 
page margins to allow for whatever borders you choose.

I trust this helps.
