There's nothing wrong with your table, just a deficiency
in the current version of FOP.
See the second paragraph of this message:

Hugues suggests commenting out lines in formal.xsl, but instead
you can add a replacement template for 'table' in your
customization and not edit the original xsl files.  I
copied the template with match="table" from formal.xsl to
my XSL customization file and commented out these lines:

<!--
    <fo:table-and-caption id="{$id}"
                          xsl:use-attribute-sets="formal.object.properties"
                          keep-together.within-column="1">
      <fo:table-caption>
-->
        <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="formal.title.properties">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="object.title.markup"/>
        </fo:block>
<!--
      </fo:table-caption>
-->
      <fo:table>
        <xsl:call-template name="table.frame"/>
        <xsl:if test="count($prop-columns) != 0">
          <xsl:attribute name="table-layout">fixed</xsl:attribute>
        </xsl:if>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="tgroup"/>
      </fo:table>
<!--
    </fo:table-and-caption>
-->


That restored tables, and the caption is there.
