I'm making slight progress, actually.

On StackOverflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5144862/escape-pipe-character-in-org-mo
de), it was suggested to use the \vert{} character escape, which does
work.
However, since this is code (a regular expression), I want it to appear
monospaced, so I'm not out of the woods yet - here's a test case that
shows my intent:
| foo | =m/foo\vert{}foodfight/= |
The \vert{} seems not to work inside a =...= construction. Furthermore,
the =...= construction is problematic there because it conflicts with the
start-of-formula syntax.
