^I'm sorry I'm not understanding the blanked area part. The 2nd cell is blank. It's not supposed to have anything...??
It's not a white border - it's a blank space where the border would be if you had one. It's there to allow for the fact you have borders in the adjoining cells and, as such, it's the same thickness as the border would be.

^Sadly you can't do this if the background is gradient, unless you can border using gradient?
AFAIK you can't apply a gradient to either a table or a border in Word 2010, so that's not an issue.

Regardless, you can't prevent the behaviour and what I have suggested is the only viable workaround you're likely to find.
