Correction: I got this wrong.
What's so special about padding is that the padding-* properties only apply to fo:table and fo:table-cell, but are not taken into account on fo:table when using border-collapse="collapse".

The reason being that in the separate border model, the table border and the cell border are, well, separated. The space between them can be set through the border-separation property. This goes for the borders between neighboring cells as well. The distance between the outer cells' borders and the table borders then becomes:
table-padding + border-separation.

In the collapsing border-model, however, there is no 'space' in between two cells or between the outer cells and the edges of the table (~ the border segments are literally shared).
