pod2man doesn't appear to be doing anything special with vertical bars,
but it appears that groff is (for utf8 at any rate).  See attached
test.pod and outputs from the following:

  pod2man test.pod >test.roff
  groff -Tlatin1 -man test.roff >test.latin1
  groff -Tutf8 -man test.roff >test.utf8

Note that the | is unmolested in all but the last (test.utf8).
