I'm having trouble formatting an autowidth table when the header cell is wider than all the cells in the column: the header cell wraps unnecessarily (even if the header is only one word, the last letter wraps).

Here is an example of three tables:

[options="header,autowidth"]
|====
|Header Cell
|text
|====

[options="header,autowidth"]
|====
|Header
|text
|====

[options="header,autowidth"]
|====
|Header
|more text
|====

Formatting with asciidoctor-pdf looks like this...



Conversion to HTML (with plain asciidoctor) works fine.  

Is my syntax incorrect, or is there a workaround I can use?
