Escaped pipe characters not properly handled by wporg-markdown

[noisysocks]

In Markdown, to use a pipe character (|) in a table, one must escape it using a backslash (\):

| Character | Name |
| - | - |
| @ | At |
| \| | Pipe |

It doesn't look like wporg-markdown handles this case. For example, the string\|null here should appear as string|null: ​https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/packages/packages-env/#wp-env-json

Was this fixed? Or am I missing something?

It was "fixed" temporarily by #5020, the problematic character is only in the master branch, introduced with ​https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/commit/6e3b72a260f42152295cbeda36b15519f67540d5#diff-d8567df8f65168c8284d7f590af7a553
