Hi Sanjoy,
I think that this a font related problem since in Plain TeX and mkii the
following
$${\rm P}(H\, | \, E)$$
gives the same result as in mkiv when using the default LM fonts, and the top
(resp. the bottom) of the bar | is aligned with the top (resp. the bottom) of
the parentheses, while in Palatino (Pagella) this does not seem to be the case.
Best regards: OK
