Try this, it worked with the example provided

  <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
    <!--identity transform-->
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="table">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="oddeven" select="tr[td[not(a or
@class)]]"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="tr" mode="oddeven">
    <xsl:variable name="pos" select="position() mod 2"/>
    <!-- the non selected nodes are precessed by the identity template and
are selected here. -->
    <xsl:apply-templates select="preceding-sibling::tr[td[a or
@class]][generate-id(following-sibling::tr[td[not(a or
@class)]])=generate-id(current())]"/>
    <xsl:copy>
      <!-- you could use xsl:choose if you want, I use a boolean test to set
the correct mode -->
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="odd" select="node()[$pos=1]"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates mode="even" select="node()[$pos=0]"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="td" mode="odd">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <xsl:attribute name="class">oddMedium</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="td" mode="even">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <xsl:attribute name="class">evenMedium</xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>


Hope this helps you
