Well, a glossary isn't in a table.
The current fo stylesheet puts a glossary in a
fo:list-block, glossentries in a
fo:list-item, the glossterm in a fo:list-item-label
and the glossdef in a fo:list-item-body.
So the fo output is already doing the equivalent of
the variablelist. The label just isn't being handled
properly by FOP when it is longer than its designated
width.
