Uh, you broke asciidoctor 1.5.2. ;-) LOL

I installed the Asciidoctor Firefox plugin:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/asciidoctorjs-live-preview/

and was able to see that asciidoctor sucks in the next row's first cell value
when the _heading_ ends with an escaped pipe, 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

I can't add a trailing pipe to the header line because it breaks output
in https://asciidoclive.com/ .

I have reported this on the asciidoc discussion list:
