Screenshot of the problem

Inserting a math object containing a formula with a vertical bar (absolute
value symbol) results in a garbled output.

To reproduce:

1. Install LibreOffice Writer on Ubuntu 22.04 using the `ppa:libreoffice/ppa`.
2. Launch the writer.
3. Click on menu Insert->OLE Object->Formula Object...
4. Type the formula containing the `|` character, e.g. `f(x)=|x|`. 

I am aware that there is an alternate way of laying out formulas using the
LibreOffice Math Formula product, which is not affected by this bug. In my
case, it is not a viable walk around, because we use LibreOffice format for the
automated generation of technical documentation generated in Pandoc. Here is
the relevant Pandoc ticket: https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/9235
