Compare https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=36341945&action=edit&preview=yes and https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/?oldid=36341945&veaction=edit The problem is even more noticiable in a real article: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapanulus_oweni?oldid=34667801&veaction=edit It seems parsoid is eating a </span> tag: http://parsoid.wmflabs.org/_rt/pt/?oldid=36341945

Can we get a simpler explanation of the bug? It's hard for me to see exactly what's going on here.
I think the original issue has been fixed (?), but note the insertion of ~ 10,000px worth of height of empty HTML in the infobox table: <tr data-parsoid="{"startTagSrc":"|-"}"> <td data-parsoid="{"autoInsertedStart":true,"autoInsertedEnd":true}"> <p data-parsoid="{}"><br data-parsoid="{}"></p> […] <p data-parsoid="{}"><br data-parsoid="{}"></p></td></tr> – see http://parsoid-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org/ptwiki/Scapanulus_oweni?oldid=34667801
I suspect that the empty HTML is in fact a symptom of the fact that the PHP parser omits 'empty' table rows, while parsoid doesn't. nell-wikipedia had a CSS row to suppress the empty rows. ...although it seems that the rows in this case aren't, strictly speaking, empty? This merits some investigation.
