I don't think so.
I am afraid, then you should significantly modify implementation for
table-line capture type.
Your examples are hardly could be considered as minimal that anyone
could easily try. I admit that you need namely the template for exams
that could be quickly filled from email, but still...
("w" "Table - works" table-line
(file+headline "" "Table")
"| %U | It |\n| | Works |" :prepend t)
("b" "Table - broken" table-line
(file+headline "" "Table")
"| %U | Broken\nmultiline |" :prepend t)

Maybe try a minimal Emacs, just to make sure something else isn't

I commented out all my templates
So the only entry is
("s" "timeslip" table-line
(file "/home/oub/timeslips.org")
;; (file "d:/ActiveFiles/timeslips.org")
"\| %(org-read-date)\| %^{FileName} %i\|

Timeslips.org is empty.

I still obtain

Even copying your code without any modifications! I am running org
9.3.7
I'm running org 9.4.4 and emacs 28.0.50, (both from source) on Debian
testing. According to my notes in my init file I created the template in
early July 2011, modified it slightly two years later. I do not recall
any problems with it.
Just to make sure that there is no problem with the timeslips template,
at least on my system, I commented out all of the capture templates
before and after the timeslips template and reloaded my init file. I ran
org-capture (bound to C-cm). The timeslips came up in the dispatcher and
it ran OK.
I notice that I was off by a key and typed periods and not semicolons in
the two lines "some capture templates," and, "some more capture templates."

Break up the line however you wish into quoted substrings and concat

Do you need to add more pipes to keep the table structure on the line
after the newline?

You may have to escape the pipes. I did that in a similar capture template.
