KIF cannot tap UIButton inside UITableViewCell if it's its UITableView's only one

I am having trouble automating tapping on an UIButton that is embedded inside a UITableViewCell if that cell is the table's only one. This is in the context of UI automation with KIF.

Here my relavant call:

[tester tapViewWithAccessibilityLabel: @"LABEL"
                               traits: UIAccessibilityTraitButton];
                               // trait only specified for 2nd case below

Here is what I am observing:

• If I put the accessibility label on the UITableViewCell KIF's KIFUITestActor - waitForAccessibilityElement:view:withLabel:traits:tappable: returns the UITableView, not the cell. Somehow the table seems to inherit its only child's accessibility label and lets KIF encounter it first during its recursive search.

• If I put the accessibility label on the UIButton instead, KIF finds it but determines that is is not tappable (i.e. UIView-KIFAdditions -tappablePointInRect: returns NO), presumably because its mainly transparent between the thin font lines for the button's label (the tap goes to a UITableViewCellContentView instead).

A workaround might be tapping on the row by it's NSIndexPath but maybe there is still a better way to overcome the described hurdles I am facing. So how could I instruct KIF to tap a button like this with a call to tapView...?

This is just to confirm that this workaround is applicable:

[tester tapRowAtIndexPath: [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow: 0 inSection: 0] 
inTableViewWithAccessibilityIdentifier: @"IDENTIFIER"];
