Problem with table heading ending in a pipe

With asciidoctor 1.5.2, if the last cell of a table heading ends with a pipe, the rendered HTML assumes the  first data row is part of the heading, e.g. this:

        [options="header",cols=">l,<l",frame="none"]
        |====
        ^l|stuff ^l|abc\|X
        |2 |hello\|
        |3 |hello
        |====

yields a correct HTML heading of:

        stuff   abc|X

which is good, but if you remove the "X" from the asciidoc heading, the
HTML output heading is:

        stuff   abc|2

The "X" is gone, but the "2" from the first data row is now in the
heading, and the first and only data row is now:

        hello|3  hello

This sure looks like a bug.  Other asciidoc rendering systems do not do this, e.g. https://asciidoclive.com/ .

It looks like this is a bug in that it isn't escaping the pipe as it should (you have '\' before the pipe). Even when I add 'a' to cols it still isn't working ('a' tells asciidoctor to parse the contents of the cell as AsciiDoc).

Dan, thoughts? Seems like a legit bug to me.

Done.  I have opened a git issue on this:
