As others have said, you lost the table because it was selected and
the select arrow was active when you hit the backspace key.
I've long though Rev needed a preference setting to prevent this sort
of accidental deletion, which can be fairly catastrophic. My testing
in 2.5.1 on OS X 10.4 with your scenario reveals a couple of things.
First, if the properties inspector is open and selected, pressing the
delete key does not have any effect at all. The field, though it is
selected, is not deleted. If, OTOH, I select the window in which the
field appears and then hit the backspace key, the field is in fact
deleted, but -- and this surprised me and contradicts what others
have said here -- Undo did not bring the field back to life.
None of the fields is salvaged from an unintentional delete via
backspace or delete key by an undo operation, though all other object
types from the palette behave exactly as expected (i.e., undo
restores them from accidental deletion).
SO while it seems like there was user error involved here (I don't
believe in user error, by the way), this clear bug at least possibly
prevented you from recovering cleanly.

I was editing the custom properties of a table. I wanted to delete
the most recently entered custom property, so I pressed the <del>
key. The TABLE was deleted, not the property; and UNDO did not
bring the table back.
