Interesting.

There are two approaches to fixing this problem which seem to work:

1. Put the \ref after the \label in your source.  You may find that 
this becomes easier to do when working with a real document rather than 
an example.

2. <hack type="dodgy">On the second process, LaTeX writes its 
references to a file called filename.aux.  I was able to get your 
example to behave how you want by opening this file and changing the 
relevant reference to look like this:

\newlabel{tblParamete}{{1.1}{1}}

</hack>  I wouldn't imagine that this method would scale particularly 
well ;)
