There's a mismatched paren in there, so the 'row' decorator is being
subsumed by the Label decorator. Try this instead:

$number = new Zend_Form_Element_Text('number');
$number->setLabel('Extension Number');

//Taken straight from the web page
$number->setDecorators(array(
'ViewHelper',
'Errors',
array(array('data' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'td', 'class' => 'element')),
array('Label', array('tag' => 'td')),
array(array('row' => 'HtmlTag'), array('tag' => 'tr')),
));

echo $number->render(new Zend_View);

The above works fine.
