<<I was editing my userpage with VE today, and I noticed that, in the part of a
table with an empty cell, VE seemed to move the two pipes inside the cell on
the left, and the empty cell didn't show. -- t numbermaniac c 03:02, 6 August

The problem here is in Parsoid's interpretation of the wikitext; in MW's parser …

| Foo || Bar

… and …

| Foo ||

… both create two cells, but in Parsoid, the "||" currently doesn't make a new cell unless there's some content that follows it, leading to unexpected table structures.
