Yes. Great! This is indeed what I wanted. My mistake was that I tried
it with a tab character before OR after the vertical bar. This
solution should be really simple to implement in org-mode as it means
that instead of joining the table columns with "<space><vbar><space>"
as is currently done, you just need to use "<tab><vbar><tab>" as well
as setting the tab width to 1.

But I just wonder, is there any other character (preferably white
space character) with the same end-of-segment-boundary properties as
tab, in case tab is used for something else in org-mode? Or is it
possible to take an arbitrary character, e.g. U+E0020, and bless it
with end-of-segment boundary properties and then use that in the
org-mode buffer?

As a side note, I really like the idea of end of segment separator,
and I wasn't aware of it when I wrote fribidi a long time ago. I
wonder if the semantics of the emacs segment separator follows the
Unicode Bidi Algorithm?
