It is not an issue with the current version of Hugo as it gets rendered as expected. However newer versions of Hugo use goldmark to render markdown with an extension which implements GitHub Flavored Markdown: Tables.
Accordingly to the spec pipe in a cell’s content needs be escaping (example).
As a result of proper spec implementation in goldmark tables & graphs get broken with new versions of Hugo.
