I would argue that it's not a clear-cut bug, but rather an unfortunate
side-effect of the table structure being so light while having a higher
precedence than spans.
But yes, you encounter the same thing in libsoldout, and you have to
work around it the same way.

It's easier than that: you can't have a vertical bar (`|`) in the first
line of a makrdown paragraph, unless it's preceeded by a backslash ("\|")
(but then the backslash is not removed in a code span).
Fortunately, whitespaces are collapsed in HTML, so all the alternatives
below should render the vertical bar without table:
bla bla
`ps aux | grep firefox` zzz..
bla bla
bla bla `ps aux | grep firefox` zzz..
bla
bla `ps aux | grep firefox` zzz..
\
`ps aux | grep firefox` if you really need a code span at the beginning
of the paragraph
In other words, anything that pushes the vertical bar beyond the first
line perevents the paragraph from being interepreted as a table.
