You are reason. Such date is a example. The p-value ( 0.043518) it is 
inconsistency with the Pearson Residuals:
                       CE-1      CE-2       CE-3
sem necessidade -0.4309469 0.3576286 -0.3069599
com necessidade  0.2547359 1.8561316 -1.5403424

We can compare them against standard normal critical values such as 
1.96. All residuals are in range -1,96, +1.96.

But, if I do

n*resid.pear.mat/sqrt(outer(n-ni,n-nj,"*"))

                       CE-1       CE-2      CE-3
sem necessidade -0.6701451 -0.6569159  2.497185
com necessidade  0.6701451  0.6569159 -2.497185

I found that the group CE-3 is responsible by the lack of the 
independence model. This is consistency with the p-value.
