That is not the purpose of tabulated-list-mode and will
likely not work. tabulated-list-mode is for buffers that
display an interactive table (and nothing else), like
list-packages, etc.
http://rgrinberg.com/posts/emacs-table-display/ has some
code to show how it can be used without defining a derived
mode (and how to populate tabulated-list-entries).
