I have reproduced and minimized the problem. Attaching a reproducing script.
I haven't traced down the exact cause but the bug is linked to table sorting.

A libyui table is by default sorted by its first column.
In TUI (libyui-ncurses) you can also press Ctrl-O to change the sorting column
(re*o*rder).

With sorting disabled, there is no bug: selecting an item uppercases its value:

    /usr/sbin/yast ./table-cell.rb no-sort 

With sorting enabled, the uppercased value appears elsewhere (but the internal
values are correct, as shown in y2log)

    /usr/sbin/yast ./table-cell.rb
