do you have a minimal tes file?
a solution may be
\let\savedbarcommand=|
\unexpanded\def|{\savedbarcommand}
Yes, this works.
I've tried to create a minimal example, but in the end all points to the
fact, that | is a special character. So even the use of | as
argument of some macro like
\FOO[data={||abcx}]{..}
is not recommended (without prior catcode change). I use the symbols as
an abbreviation for different MP graphics, and it wouldn't make sense to
write \letterbar every time. Looks like I have to choose a different symbol.

still experimental is that you can change the catcodetable (pseudo in
mkii, native in mkiv) but i won't bring up it's dirty details here
\let\savedbarcommand=|
\unexpanded\def|{\savedbarcommand}
this makes them unexpandable but still using ~ and | for such purposes is kind
of tricky

not any longer...
a solution may be
\let\savedbarcommand=|

I'll try this tomorrow and also try to make a new minimal example.
Thanks anyway,
