Kramdown bug - pipe character in Markdown link creates a table

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this bug (or if this should be forwarded to Kramdown's dev), but it's been there for ages:

Currently I'm running the latest of the greatest: Jekyll 2.3 and Kramdown 1.4.1.

This is a kramdown issue which is currently solved by escaping the | character. It has been brought to the kramdown people that this probably should not happen inside links/image alt text.

Thanks. I just remembered that I also send them a mail about it several months ago. Side note: currently I replace all | with – rather than escaping them.

That's what I went with as well.
