It is a syntax limitation.
Org parser is outer-inner - the table row is parsed first.
So, | are unconditionally used as table delimiters, *before* verbatim
LaTeX markup is recognized.

\vert is one possible workaround, but it does not work inside verbatim
text.

The only sane way would be adding some kind of alternative table
delimiter syntax to aid the situations like in your example.
