Sounds like a bug in tbl. It's looking at .TS and .TE, but not
catching .ig requests. I've never used classic troff that way, so
I don't know how it handles such a construct.
Adding a .\" in front of the .TS as in
.\".TS
should do the job. With no .TS, tbl probably ignores the .TE.
Not the cleanest, but should work.
The right answer is to teach tbl to recognize .ig.

Tables that *should* be commented out using the .ig / .. construct still
appear in the output. I first noticed this in 1.19.2, but it also appears in the
CVS.
Here's an example file:
.\" ---------------- start ------------------
.LP
The following table should be seen:
.TS
allbox;
cb cb
n l .
Value Description
1 enable line 1
2 enable line 2
3 enable both lines
.TE
.LP
But this table should
.I not
be seen:
.ig
.TS
allbox;
cb cb
n l .
Value Description
0 Disable all lines.
1 Enable line 1.
2 Enable line 2.
4 Enable line 3.
8 Enable line 4.
.TE
..
.LP
And that's all.
.\" ---------------- end ------------------
