This is fixed and is coming real soon now to a Java near you.

You should be able to work around it by getting the input map of the
table and adding these mappings to it.

"ENTER", "selectNextRowCell"
"shift ENTER", "selectPreviousRowCell"

That's in theory -- I haven't done it myself, but looking at the
changes I made that should be all you need to do.
