Querying public fusion table without authentication

I am trying to run a JavaScript query against a public google fusion table but cannot get it to work without some form of authentication. The complete table is accessible from the web UI with the link: 

https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1XxWDOr1-w74LEgTBW8QdWl_OYPkPcLKp0Wm5ghej

but a query against the table to just return the data like:

https://www.googleapis.com/fusiontables/v2/query?sql=SELECT%20*%20FROM%201XxWDOr1-w74LEgTBW8QdWl_OYPkPcLKp0Wm5ghej

does not work unless I add my key on the end. Without a key I get the following error:

{
    "domain": "usageLimits",
    "reason": "dailyLimitExceededUnreg",
    "message": "Daily Limit for Unauthenticated Use Exceeded. Continued use requires signup.",
    "extendedHelp": "https://code.google.com/apis/console"
}

As the table is public it should be able to be queried by anyone. Does anyone know if this should actually work for version 2 of the fusion tables API.

Read-Queries require at least a key(which is used to authenticate your access to the API, not to the particular table)

Note: a table must be public and downloadable, otherwise you must authenticate via OAuth
