So I found the metadata_field_id for this metadata item using a known valid
value:

dspace=# select * from metadatavalue where text_value='DRYLAND CEREALS';

... and then I tried to find text values containing several variations of
"|||", like '\|\|\|', '%|%', '%\|%' etc...

dspace=# select item_id from metadatavalue where metadata_field_id=86 and
text_value='|||';

But I am not getting any hits. I also figured that, since we figured CSV
export by nature wouldn't expose this anomaly, that I could simple export
and re-import, but DSpace said no changes were detected upon re-import.

Hmmm. Anyone know how I could query Solr directly for this information?
