I see some weirdness too, but mine doesn't match yours. (Ubuntu 16.04 here, though.)

I note that sort(1) says:

      ***  WARNING  ***  The locale specified by the environment affects
      sort order.  Set LC_ALL=C to get the traditional sort order that uses
      native byte values.

So do some testing with:

 cat spam | LC_ALL=C sort -k1 -t"|"

and report.
