Reading the code it seems up until when the 'More Options...' button was added
the keyboard should have been able to be used.

Here is a patch to restore this ability when *activated by keyboard*.

https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/71813/

The patch does not show the 'More Options..." button when the Insert Table
popup window is activated using the keyboard. The Insert Table dialog
automatically opens when row or column amount using arrow keys exceeds the row
or column size of the popup. The Tab key also opens the Insert Table dialog. Up
Arrow key and Left Arrow key when on first row/column as well as Escape key and
Enter key at any time close the popup.

When the Mouse is used to activate the Insert Table popup window the 'More
Options...' button is displayed. To prevent the key input buggy behavior
reported, key input is limited to Space, Return, and Escape when the focus is
on the 'More Options...' button.
