Resizing images within a table breaks it

When trying to resize an image in a table using the pipe syntax of wikilinks ([[imageName|width]]), even if the pipe is correctly escaped by Obsidian (or by the user), the table breaks as if the pipe were not escaped.

Possibly related to Pipe Problems in tables: Math\Latex, Inline code and separator |

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a new table.
  2. Embed an image in any cell.
  3. Try to resize it by typing the pipe | followed by any number.

Note that the same behaviour occurs when manually escaping the pipe. Typing \| breaks the table.

See videos below.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

As with aliases, the pipe should be automatically (and correctly) escaped.

| ![[image\|width]]  |   |
| - | - |
|   |   |

Actual result

The pipe, even if correctly escaped in the markdown source, is still being recognized as a cell separator and breaks the table.

This occurs only for wikilinks embeds (![[]]). Markdown embeds (![]()) are not affected.

| ![[image\|width]]  |
| - | - |
