The following MWE demonstrates the problem:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\setbeamercovered{transparent=0}
%\setbeamercovered{invisible}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
a & b \\\pause
c & d
\end{tabular}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
\pause
effects one row if \setbeamercovered{invisible}
is used, but only one cell if \setbeamercovered{transparent=??}
is used.
Is it a bug? Shouldn't it be the same?! Can I write my code to affect the entire row with both of the above?

Please disregard my earlier comment.
\pause
can be used within atabular
environment.To uncover a table rowwise, you should use
\pause
, not after, but before a\\
. The code is adapted from thebeamer
documentation itself (see subsection 23.5 Uncovering a Table Rowwise).I don't have a satisfactory explanation for the behaviour your code displays. As pointed out in KevinC's comment,
\pause
seems to produce surprising results when used inside array-type environment. Thebeamer
doc (subsection 9.1) warns about that:Perhaps it is best not to use
\pause
in ways other than those shown in thebeamer
manual.
