Not really math, more of a TaBlE omission. Try this code, which gives
you the new key P (just like p) for a vertically centered paragraph.

[There is a similar problem for bottom aligned paragraphs (\vbot
 instead of \vtop), but I can't find a suitable key for that].

Or you could put the \eqalign in a parbox itself, I think, like this: 

\starttable[|p(6cm)|p(6cm)|]
\NC .. \NC $\displaystyle\eqalign{...}$\NC\NR
\stoptable

(in this case, they start on the same baseline).
