<<I was editing my userpage with VE today, and I noticed that, in the part of a table with an empty cell, VE seemed to move the two pipes inside the cell on the left, and the empty cell didn't show. -- t numbermaniac c 03:02, 6 August 2013 (UTC)>> (first line of the Redirect table in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Numbermaniac?veaction=edit ).
The problem here is in Parsoid's interpretation of the wikitext; in MW's parser … | Foo || Bar … and … | Foo || … both create two cells, but in Parsoid, the "||" currently doesn't make a new cell unless there's some content that follows it, leading to unexpected table structures.
