I use visual-line-mode to wrap long lines on display.
But for org tables, wrapping makes the display very confused.
Is it possible to have truncate-lines ONLY for lines that represent tables?

I solve this problem in my tables by using a table length-constraining parameter:
| my table | long-cell |
| | <10> |
| | tons of text that should be cut off at a reasonable length (just 10 chars) and not run on forever |
| | |
produces:
| my table | long-cell |
| | <10> |
| | tons of te |

I have the same issue. I do have visual-line-mode bound to a key so I
can toggle this on and off easily but it would definitely be nice if I
didn't have to do anything... however, I think it will be difficult to
automate this.

How do you configure this parameter to achieve that effect?

Carsten made an Emacs feature request for this here
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=5018
As I am also very interested in this I commented there now. Please
help me by showing your interest there too.
