The API specification says that an ActionEvent will be triggered on some platforms when accessing the tray icon through keyboard. I pressed TAB and brought the focus to the tray icon created by java and then tried pressing 'SPACE' / 'ENTER' on Win32. No action event is triggered. This actually works fine for all other tray icons created by serveral other native apps. Java Tray Icons must behave the same way as native ones.

This is reproducible on the current PIT build on Win32.
java version "1.6.0-awt.pit-int-jcg-win-03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.6.0-awt.pit-int-jcg-win-03-java2d_06_may_2005_09_06-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0-ea-b35, mixed mode)

I have attached a sample test. Execute the sample test. You would see a tray icon being added to the System Tray. Press TAB and bring the focus to the tray icon. Press ENTER or SPACE BAR. If no events are triggered, the bug is reproduced.
