http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Security_Intelligence&diff=next&oldid=558880809 - the corruption was later reproduced in a sandbox by Rybec "by copy-pasting the previous revision to a sandbox and editing just the lead paragraph in the same way in VE. The unwanted changes are displayed in the review window", so aside from nowikis, we need to find out why it deletes some bits of the text. Also adding http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Romain_Alessandrini&diff=95638901&oldid=95638848 which as the previous one happened after a template was left open. I think this should happen to prevent | signs to be shown as they are usually markup and not really wanted in an article, but I still can see them in View mode, so I need to understand more about this behavior. Thanks.
This looks to be a Parsoid "bug", though frankly the behaviour of the system when given such broken input is somewhat undefined. Minimum test case: Foo | Bar
The issue here is that we are tokenizing this to a td token, which is then dropped by the treebuilder when that does not end up inside a table. We should be able to detect this on the DOM based on shadow info. When detected, we can re-insert the original pipe so that it is not lost. That might not yet avoid the <nowiki> insertion, but would at least preserve the content. It is also possible that selser avoids the nowiki.
