That behavior appears to be tied to AZW3 (KF8) format. I used calibre to convert a book with several large tables to AZW3 format and when sideloaded to my Kindle I see the same pair of icons when tapping within the table. I need to swipe instead to go to the next page.
I sent the original EPUB of the same book to my Kindle using Amazon's send-to-kindle website. It was delivered in KFX format and in that case the tables within the book no longer bring up those icons when tapped. They behave the same as any other text within the book.
So using send-to-kindle or converting/sideloading yourself using KFX are options for fixing this problem.
