This works without problems:

\documentstyle{article}
\begin{document}
  \begin{table}
    \begin{minipage}{5cm}
      \begin{tabular}{ccc}
        AAAAA & BBBBB\footnote{this is a footnote} & CCCC \\
        DDDDD & EEEEE & FFFFF
      \end{tabular}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

Either with or without the {table}.
