Vim is not a LaTeX parser. I could fix this by providing syntax rules
for tabulars (the syntax highlighting engine is more lexical than
syntactic), but there're many other places where LaTeX accepts things
that are not regular text and would be flagged as spelling errors. The
syntax/tex.vim file is already over 1200 lines long; I don't think I
will be implementing any fixes for this.

If this seriously annoys you, you could probably put additional syntax
highlighting rules in a .vim/after/syntax/tex.vim file and have it
recognize the tabulars (and whatever else you want recognized).
