I'm not entirely sure if I'm answering our question correctly but I'll have a go as this thread seems quiet.
tab.func(self)
--# we defined self ourselves
end
--# is same as
tab:func()
--# self is implied as the first argument by the colon
end
--# calling these functions can be done like so
--# these work for both ways of defining the function above
tab.func(tab) --# pass tab manually
tab:func() --# again implied first argument as tab via colon
--# the one you seem to be interested in but working (or should be)
tab["func"](tab)

You need to provide the table as the self argument manually.
