I was actually thinking about this a bit and I wonder if they really means anything at all...

In both cases the "table" represents "an angenda for a meeting".. when americans say "table the motion" they mean, "put it on the next agenda".. when brits use it they mean "put it on the current agenda"... but in reality they are both just saying "lets put this on the agenda".. they only differ on what agenda they are implying.

Not saying your wrong, just pointing out despite having opposite meanings they are kinda the same meaning in a weird way too.
