Space management around tables is the responsibility of each macro package. The job of tbl(1) itself is to render the table. There was a bug in the past several versions of groff in this area, but it involved man(7) documents, not mom(7), and the issue was too little space _after_ a table, not too much _before_ it (also: in nroff mode only).
