Description
### Product
axe-core
### Product Version
4.12.1
### Latest Version
- [x] I have tested the issue with the latest version of the product
### Issue Description
#### Expectation
The `th-has-data-cells` rule should return failures for the example shown on [table headers in a data table must refer to data cells](https://dequeuniversity.com/rules/axe/4.13/th-has-data-cells?application=RuleDescription) documentation page
#### Actual
Returns no failures.
#### How to Reproduce
Test the page with the axe core web extension using axe-core 4.12.1
I've tried a few other examples that I thought would have failed - those didn't work, so then i tested the documentation page that contains the invalid example, and it also returned no issues.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with axe-core 4.12.1 against the documented invalid example for the th-has-data-cells rule, using the axe-core web extension. Compare the documented expectation with the rule's reported result and verify that the rule returns a failure for the example.
