A proper wikitable ends with the contents of the last cell, followed by |}. If you instead end with the contents of the last cell, followed by a stray 'new row' like this: |- |} then the result is two tables, including one that contains only a chess pawn.
Not true in general. Try the following @ http://parsoid.wmflabs.org/_wikitext/ {| |- |foo |- |} I'll look at the diff you provided and see what is going on.
I created a test page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ssastry/Bug_52535 by copying the contents from the Leukemia page. I cannot reproduce the exact error. However, try this: 1. move the mouse int the empty row and click 2. Hit Delete to delete the row. 3. The row disappears but an empty table appears on the page. 4. Save -> Review changes and you'll notice the new empty table insstead of the old empty row. So, I imagine what happened is that the editor saw the empty row in VE and tried to delete it. VE deleted it but for some reason left a quoted pawn in place as well -- that might be something going on in VE which might been since fixed or not. I am going to close this bug as invalid -- feel free to reopen it on the VE end based on what you discover.
