Just for grins I added a second NSTableView to the window and
rebuilt. When that table has focus, the edit menu items are all
disabled, just like for the original table.
I admit the possibility that I'm doing something weird, but it must
be a NSTableView-only kind of weird...
You could write a little class that derives from NSTableView and
override
validateMenuItem. Putting a debugger breakpoint on that might tell
you
more. The ins-and-outs of it are covered here:

ApplicationKit/Protocols/NSMenuValidation_Protocol/Reference/
Reference.html
I tried doing that, both in my NSTableView subclass and, just to see
if it would make a difference, in my window controller. No
difference. This continues to be strange since NSTextFields work just
great in that regard.
I also tried another test case and created a new Cocoa app project
with a table in a window. When I ran it as-is, Select All was
disabled. When I subclassed the table and added validateMenuItem:,
Select All was enabled. So at this point I'm stuck because nobody
even calls validateMenuItem: for my modal window...
