Using a different character (namely ¦) the following should work
#+source: clean
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var in=""
(flet ((clean (in)
(if (listp in)
(mapcar #'clean in)
(if (stringp in)
(replace-regexp-in-string "¦" "|" in)
in))))
(clean in))
#+end_src
#+results: regexps
| first | (a¦b) |
| second | (1¦2) |
#+begin_src perl :var a=clean(in=regexps)[0,1] :var b=clean(in=regexps)[1,1]
$a; $b;
#+end_src
#+results:
: (1|2)
