The code change looks good 👍.
I've made a suggestion for the CHANGELOG, to clarify that this only affects incorrectly formatted footnotes.
I'd also suggest adding an example of the incorrect formatting we saw in this document into the commit message, so there's a permanent record of the problem being solved here.

Thanks @brucebolt - I removed the reference to incorrect formatting as I was still getting issues when I removed the example we found. But now I've realised the footnote above the one we identified was broken as well, as it contained | which I think was triggering the table formatting.

I'll reintroduce the wording you suggested
