Here's a fun little method I wrote to explore this - it just fakes
an event that gradually tracks from the top of the table to the
bottom. As you can see, you wouldn't really expect it to draw
anything, but it does highlight each row in turn. The call to the
window's -displayIfNeeded is required to flush the drawing out
during the loop. <mLayersTable> is the ivar for the tableview (in
fact an outline view - I haven't tested this against a table view).

Please do log bugs with regard to this -- there is no reason it can't
be changed, especially if it works better for you all (the developers)
to customize things. I'm always open to suggestions and improvements.
A few more clues/results...
The highlight is being drawn by drawRect: as usual - I was thinking
that some direct drawing was being done but that's not the case on
further investigation.
After running the test code, the table highlighting gets firmly set
to the blue outline style for ALL further selections. This suggests
that -menuForEvent is setting a highlighting style mode, making a
note of the row to highlight and then doing the drawing in -
drawRect: Am I warm, Corbin?
Yes -- that is the case. It would still have to do something similar,
even if the code was moved somewhere else, but as you noted, there is
an error if the menu isn't ever shown. -rightMouseDown:, or something
else, may be more appropriate.
