This is a bug, caused by an unbalanced brace.  Took me a while to
spot it.  Open 'om.tmac' and replace

  .MAC TS END
  .    if '\\n[.z]'FLOAT*DIV' \{\
  .    if '\\$1'BOXED' \{\
  .       if !\\n[.d] .nr boxed-table 1
  .    \}
  .END

with

  .MAC TS END
  .    if '\\n[.z]'FLOAT*DIV' \{\
  .       if '\\$1'BOXED' \{\
  .          if !\\n[.d] .nr boxed-table 1
  .       \}
  .    \}
  .END

TS/TE should behave now.

I'll fix this in the repo when I commit the next set of changes
to mom.

Cheers.
